King: The Martin Luther King Story

Synopsis: Paul Winfield embodies fallen civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. and Academy Award Nominee Cicely Tyson lends her enumerable talents as Coretta Scott King in director Abby Mann's television mini-series King: The Martin Luther King Story. Tracing the story of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s rise from his early years as a Baptist minister in Montgomery, AL to his assassination in Memphis, TN in 1968, is riveting storytelling of the highest order, combining first-rate performances with spiritual, political and social themes that remain as relevant today as they were in the era portrayed in the film. Supporting performances include Ossie Davis as Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr., Roscoe Lee Browne and Grammy and Emmy Award Winning singer Tony Bennett portraying himself.
