The March (1964) is a documentary directed by James Blue on the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, one of the watershed events of American history, made by the United States Information Agency for showing outside of the USA. Only in 1990 did it become available domestically. Its high point is a somewhat abbreviated version (a little over a third, mostly the last part) of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic speech. Before this we also get Marian Anderson singing He’s Got the Whole World in His Hand, 24 years after her famous Lincoln Memorial recital.
