The Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. examines the details surrounding the assassination of the courageous civil rights leader and the years leading up to his tragic death.

It’s a little known fact that the alleged assassin, James Earl Ray, retracted his confession three days after confessing to the murder.

This documentary dives deep into the days of the civil rights movements with news clips from the time, numerous footages of inspirational speeches, and interviews with journalists and other civil rights activists.

This film also brings special attention to King’s heavy influence on raising opposition to the Vietnam War, economic equality, and American foreign policy.
