MLK/FBI (2020)
3/10

Warning: Spoilers
The documentary on the whole appears hypocritical. Here, we have a baptist pastor married leading a nonviolent protest movement based on integrity and drawn from philosophies based on truth/integrity/honesty etc.

On the other hand, we have the FBI, an organisation sworn to protect the administration.

I actually not understand whether the commentators were insisting that the FBI's evidence on King's sexual adventures was true or not. Audio tapes are quite enough, even in those days, to make out who is who and there is not much variations in the sounds made during sex and names are usually mentioned. They just seemed to hint that the evidence was planted.

In addition, I did not see anything to support that King did not do it nor did I understand why he went through an emotional crisis when he had not done it.

My biggest peeve about this documentary since I watch a lot and everyone of them have video recordings of the commentators talking so that body language can be made out, is that none of the commentators are on camera and in addition, none of them neither prove nor disprove that the FBI was fabricating evidence.
