MLK Doc Screens for Free


With Martin Luther King, Jr. Day right around the corner, a special treat lays in waiting for those in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. — screening for free at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the AFI Silver Theatre is King: A Filmed Record... Montgomery to Memphis, co-directed by Hollywood notables Sidney Lumet and Joseph L. Mankiewicz. A riveting compilation of documentary footage of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., from the Montgomery bus boycott and the dogs of Selma to the Nobel Prize, his August 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial and that fateful April evening on a balcony in Memphis, King: A Filmed Record includes narration and on-screen commentary from Sidney Poitier, James Earl Jones, Paul Newman, Charlton Heston, Harry Belafonte, Ruby Dee and Clarence Williams III, among others. Free tickets are available at the AFI Silver Theatre box office on the day of the event only. The Silver Theatre is located at 8633 Colesville Road in the heart of the new downtown Silver Spring; for more information, click here.
