EXCLUSIVE: If on MLK Day, you wanted to view a movie that breathes life into the struggles faced by Martin Luther King Jr and his Civil Rights movement cohorts, look no further than Rustin. Directed by George C. Wolfe and starring Colman Domingo as Bayard Rustin, the Netflix& Higher Ground drama tells of the title character’s unsung role in making possible the March on Washington D.C., the historical 1963 event where MLK became an icon following his “I have a dream” speech. The awards caliber film was a favorite on the fall festival circuit, and outside of Ava DuVernay’s Selma, it is perhaps the most penetrating look at Dr. King and his coterie of advisors, and the price they all paid in attacking racism and ending segregation in the South.
