 . Sam Pollard. United States\, 2020\, 102 mins. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
  is remembered today as an American hero: a bridge-builder\, a shrewd poli
 tical tactician\, and a moral leader. Yet throughout his history-altering 
 political career\, he was often treated by U.S. intelligence and law enfor
 cement agencies like an enemy of the state. In this virtuosic documentary\
 , award-winning editor and director Sam Pollard (Editor\, 4 Little Girls\,
  Mo’ Better Blues\; Director/Producer\, Eyez on the Prize\, Sammy Davis\, 
 Jr: I’ve Gotta Be Me) lays out a detailed account of the FBI surveillance 
 that dogged King’s activism throughout the 1950s and ’60s\, fueled by the 
 racist and red-baiting paranoia of J. Edgar Hoover. In crafting a rich arc
 hival tapestry\, featuring some revelatory restored footage of King\, Poll
 ard urges us to remember that true American progress is always hard-won. V
