Excellent

We always wish we had been more politically aware of things with hindsight - maybe I was too young to know what was going on at the time. Also, we didn't have a wide range of TV programmes and news films to show us things as they happened.

This movie certainly spells out the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement in the USA.

Jeffrey Wright is brilliant at portraying Martin Luther King - he has the voice and speech patterns just right. I wasn't too happy with the hand held camera technique - began to feel dizzy at times - but I suppose it served its purpose in making us feel we were watching old news reels. The colouring is kind of sepia and black and white at times - also conveying the period atmosphere. Makes me want to read up more about this period and this movement.
