Why Make a Movie about KING BLVD?
The Story behind the Story
As a young man growing up in Detroit, MI I noticed our MLK street didn't reflect the world-changing leader I learned about in school. The dark reality of the MLK street I saw didn't equal the light Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood for. Once I began to visit other places and research other cities throughout the USA, I realized this wasn't isolated to just Detroit. - Earl Hardy, KING BLVD, Writer, Producer
