March On! The Day My Brother Martin Changed the World
produced by Paul R. Gagne and Melissa Reilly of Weston Woods Studios
About
91´«Ã½
The video is Dr. Christine King Farris’ memory of the historic march on Washington, which took place on Aug. 23, 1963.
Christine King Farris describes her brother Martin’s preparation for and delivery of the monumental “I Have a Dream” speech in the greater context of the historic 1963 March on Washington.
Through the intertwining of archival photographs, music and sound with London Ladd’s art from the book, viewers become a part of the important event. Farris’ words are beautifully interpreted in Lynn Whitfield’s powerful narration. Michael Bacon’s score dramatically weaves together original music with the freedom songs heard that day.
