change volume WTOP s Jason Fraley reviews MLK/FBI
If you missed it at the Middleburg Film Festival or the Double Exposure: Investigative Film Festival back in October, you can finally watch “MLK/FBI” from the comfort of your home.
The provocative documentary is now streaming just in time for the MLK holiday.
The film chronicles civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as he is investigated, wiretapped and harassed by the FBI under the iron fist of Director J. Edgar Hoover between November 1963 and his assassination in April 1968.
The film is directed by Sam Pollard, who was Spike Lee’s editor on “Mo’ Better Blues” (1990) and “Jungle Fever” (1991) before producing Spike’s powerful documentaries “4 Little Girls” (1997) and “When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts” (2006).
