Points
  • The government-sanctioned harassment of Martin Luther King Jr provides the chilling spine of "MLK/FBI," a documentary timed to the annual holiday for the civil rights icon.
  • Director Sam Pollard's film also raises an interesting question -- namely, what historians and journalists owe King's legacy in terms of releasing material amassed specifically in an effort to sully his name.
