THE MOUNTAINTOP
A gripping reimaging of events the night before the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Taking place on April 3, 1968, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN after delivering one of his most memorable speeches. When a mysterious young hotel worker named Camae delivers room service, the two engage in humorous conversation that progresses into a soul searching discussion about their mutual hopes and fears. When Camae reveals a secret, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy to his people.
