- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A documentary contrasting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and J. Edgar Hoover who were regarded by different constituencies as guardians of the American dream.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: while this is certainly a piece of history worth revisiting, Pollard’s documentary trots out the most notorious accusation made against King…and leaves it hanging, neither confirming nor denying events
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Beautiful in its style, enraging in its substance, this skewering of the FBI’s surveillance of the civil-rights icon is essential for understanding the near-term roots of white supremacy in America.
- [New] | Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: In the 1950s and 1960s was a (usually) quiet war between Martin Luther King, Jr. and J. Edgar Hoover. Some of the most interesting pieces in MLK/FBI are taken from the mass media of the time.
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: This is the paper trail that proves the FBI’s treachery in collecting tabloid fodder in order to ruin the reputation of a man they deemed to be their enemy.
- Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: A masterpiece in historical revelation has been created. It is sensitive, fully candid, and revelatory not only about King but about the FBI, American society, and political hypocrisy.
