Witness From the Balcony of Room 306 (2008)


WITNESS... was nominated for Best Documentary Short at this year's Oscars, and deserves that recognition. It is a moving recounting of the events surrounding the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.

This quick, half hour film focuses on Samuel Kyles, a fellow minister who hung out with King in the hour before he was killed and also witnessed his final "mountaintop" speech.

When you watch, you can't help but to feel thankful that someone documented this man's account of what happened while Kyles was still alive to tell his view of the story. If you can get a hold of this, it's worth your time.
