At The River I Stand
At the River I Stand is an award-winning documentary which reconstructs the two eventful months in Memphis in 1968 leading to the tragic death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the climax of the Civil Rights Movement. It demonstrates the integral connection between the struggle for civic and economic rights. At the River I Stand shows how the African-American community rallied behind a strike by grossly underpaid sanitation workers. Dr. King saw an opportunity to link this struggle to his growing, nationwide Poor People’s Campaign. His non-violent strategy was sorely tested during the bitter 65-day strike and on April 4th, he was murdered.
