WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Experience the private journey of a public man during an extraordinary time. The Man in Room 306 is an intimate, human portrait Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. set in Memphis on April 3, 1968, the evening before his tragic assassination on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. Dr. King struggles with himself, his future and the very soul of a non-violent movement shadowed by the rise of Black Power with stunning depth and complexity. Before this night is over, he will change...and so will the country.
