This dvd has to be the best documentary that I've seen on Martin Luther King Jr. It actually goes in depth to show what he was going through in his personal life, how the movement was affecting his health, and also touches on other movements he was involved in that stretched to include all races, not just African Americans. A definite must have.

I thought that The History Channel would have done a great job in reviewing Dr. King's life, but I was quite disappointed. It is my belief, after watching the "Citizen King" and "Freedom Riders" DVDs that this one has quite a few inaccuracies and doesn't do justice to telling a well-rounded story about Dr. King. The man was not a saint - he one man doing extraordinary things. There is no reason to excuse his human flaws any more than there is a reason not to acknowledge his accomplishments. If I choose only one DVD to watch about King it would, hands down, be "Citizen King." It is a much better, more balanced, historically accurate review of Dr. King's life and contributions.

I bought this item used and it was in excellent condition. There were no wears or tears on it and the film itself was just excellent. Bravo to this seller and Bravo to the History Channel.
