MLK Day Documentary Screening: Bridge to Freedom (1965) Episode from Eyes on the Prize PBS Series

To honor Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, we will screen Bridge to Freedom (1965), episode six from the PBS documentary Eyes on the Prize.

Bridge to Freedom: 1965 recounts how a decade of lessons is applied in the climactic and bloody march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. A major victory is won when the federal Voting Rights Act passes but civil rights leaders know they have new challenges ahead.

Produced by Blackside, Eyes on the Prize tells the definitive story of the Civil Rights Era from the point of view of the ordinary men and women whose extraordinary actions launched a movement that changed the fabric of American life, and embodied a struggle whose reverberations continue to be felt today. Winner of numerous Emmy awards, a George Foster Peabody Award, an International Documentary Award, and a Television Critics Association Award, Eyes on the Prize is the most critically acclaimed documentary on civil rights in America.

All ages.
