LBJ

This is a montage of different images from the JFK, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy triumphs and assassinations, all three events being observed by Lyndon Johnson as the dark figure who is plotting the anti-black rights movement.

Directed by Santiago Álvarez, LBJ leans on a strong ensemble — Lyndon B. Johnson, Martin Luther King Jr., Kwame Ture — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1968.
