History is useful to be remembered

Rating: 9/10 (26 April 2015)

Watching this film gives me the opportunity to think about the evolution of the society in USA. It is common to comment negatively about USA outside this country, but if we look carefully the film and the hard situations faced by Martin Luther King and his collaborators, you may conclude that USA has evolved a lot in five decades. This is not a praise, it is just a fact. Now USA has a black president, something that at that time nobody would have even dreamed. Fights of Luther King and his movement were productive, they may not be enough even now, the news coming of shooting black persons from time to time are still coming, but the reality is that this film is by itself a confirmation of healthy Martin Luther Kings' ideas. Personally I like to congratulate director-producers and cast of the film, and to ask them to produce more materials as this one, which may help not only Americans but those societies still trapped in discrimination.
