| Title: | King vs. The United States of America |
| Logline: | Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s shooting death on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel is pinned on avowed segregationist James Earl Ray alone, but widow Coretta Scott King and much of her family never accepts his instant confession and a convenient lone gunman explanation. After years and years of investigation, including the mid-1970s Senate committee which reveals J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI’s illegal surveillance, wiretapping and taunting of Dr. King, the jury’s verdict in a 1999 trial concludes there has been a true conspiracy of “government agencies” and more. |
