Sam Pollard (MLK/FBI)

from MovieMaker Hosted by MovieMaker Magazine

Veteran editor, director, and producer Sam Pollard joins us to discuss his new documentary, MLK/FBI, which examines the FBI's relentless surveillance of Martin Luther King, Jr. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover hoped to discredit MLK by uncovering and revealing details of the civil rights icon's private life. The surveillance campaign became Hoover's obsessive pursuit. The movie utilizes a trove of newly declassified documents, as well as a wealth of archival footage—much of which will be new to most viewers.
