More DescriptionThe long-awaited sequel to the graphic novel biography of the life and career of civil rights leader Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., winner of a 1995 Parent's Choice Award and often compared to Art Spiegelman's Maus.

An expressionist visual style combined with a painterly attention to detail propel the story with cinematic momentum. In colour and b/w.
