Summary:

From the time that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. emerged as a resonant voice in the American civil rights movement, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover regarded him as a danger to the status quo that needed to be discredited. This stunning documentary lays bare the Bureau's unflagging campaign to surveil and undermine Dr. King through the balance of his life--and the disturbing resonance that the questions raised here have in our contemporary politics.
