Championing nonviolent protest during the civil rights movement in the American South, Martin Luther King Jr. (Paul Winfield), a Baptist minister, becomes one of the most powerful and inspirational leaders during the turbulent era of the 1950s and '60s. However, being at the top only makes King more of a target, as he is always under threats from law enforcement officials, politicians and bigots. Never backing down from his lot, King undauntedly fights for equality, despite the personal risk.
