The March is a BAFTA nominated documentary directed by John Akomfrah, narrated by Denzel Washington, and executive-produced by Robert Redford. It is about the historic 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom - largely remembered for Martin Luther King's famous and iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. It formed the centrepiece of a special week of programs and online events and activities celebrating the 50th anniversary of the March.

The Guardian: "the success of this documentary lay in its range of different voices"
