THE MLK PROJECT
Motives Unmasked
The MLK Project is a two season, 19 episode documentary series that presents a serious historical reassessment of Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights movement, and the political forces that shaped their legacy. Drawing upon archival footage, government records, private correspondence, historical publications, and expert testimony, the series documents the ideological influences, political relationships, and strategic objectives routinely omitted from the popular account of King’s life and work.
Funded through crowdfunding and sustained by grassroots supporters, The MLK Project was produced independently of the institutions that have spent decades protecting the mainstream MLK myth. The result is the definitive, serious counter narrative to the sanitized story promoted through schools, media, academia, and popular culture. Across 19 episodes, the series restores the historical context, asks the questions conventional documentaries refuse to ask, and gives viewers the evidence necessary to judge King’s legacy for themselves.
