King: Man Of Peace In A Time Of War is a fascinating and revealing look at the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. filtered through the prism of three major conflicts: the struggle between black and white America, divisiveness within the civil rights movement itself, and an undeclared war in Vietnam. This timely tribute features archival footage of Dr. King, exclusive interviews with Rev. Jesse Jackson, Colin Powell, and Quincy Jones amongst other including Hugh Hefner, Howard K. Smith and Laurence Fishburne, plus controversial commentary from Malcom X.
Most remarkable of all is the appearance of Dr. King himself on a 1967 Mike Douglas Show speaking eloquently about civil rights and his opposition to the Vietnam War. It is a revelation to see him in this relaxed setting - even though he is peppered with pointed questions from the host. King:Man Of Peace In A Time Of War is a remarkably relevant salute to a man who remains an inspiration and a force for social change nearly forty years after his untimely death at the age of 39.
