I like the use of video segments of MLK throughout the video and the sound bites from his speeches. I’ll say the cover version is pretty good but as I watch the video I wonder why they didn’t use the U2 single or have them play a special version for the show. It’s not like U2 doesn’t have a special admiration for Dr. King, they wrote more than one song about him. Ultimately, it’s nice to see the name of the song used for the title of the documentary and the use of the song even if it is a cover.

Let me know what you think.

For those that prefer U2 playing the song, here’s probably my favorite live version:
