MLK/FBI

"Captivating and enraging..."

"Does more than impart facts, or even tell a story..."

"The doc argues more than once, this episode is one of the most dishonourable moments in the FBI's history."

"Fair to all parties without being neutral or timid."

"We are reminded... of an awkward truth-that Hoover's F.B.I. was not some rogue outfit but a core component of the existing social structure, welded firmly to public opinion."

"Myth and legend are pushed aside, creating a human portrait of a great leader, warts and all."

"[A] smart, incisive film."

"MLK/FBI not only offers a compelling portrait of what was, but beyond just looking back, sets up a debate about what will be."

"Provides another lens through which to appreciate his commitment."

"Cleverly uses the FBI's pursuit of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr to tell the entwined history of leftwing protest and state-sanctioned surveillance."

"What are we going to do with the material itself? It's a question whose answers remain to be seen. The accomplishment of Pollard's documentary is that it so capably and persuasively prepares us to ask it."

"An eye-opening documentary that poses hard questions and gives no easy answers..."
