Synopsis

Simple, easy to produce, and yet an electrifying dramatization of the main events in Martin Luther King's life as leader of the American Civil Rights movement.

Skin Deep illumines the attitudes of white racists without mocking them, and highlights the challenge of black activists to remain non-violent.
