Martin Rising is a stunning, poetic presentation of the final months of Martin Luther King Jr.’s life - told in a rich embroidery of visions, color, musical cadence, deep emotion, and multiple layers of meaning.

Die Songs bewegen, berühren, laden zum Verweilen ein und gehen weit über das klassische Kinderlied hinaus: Sie lassen das große Ganze sehen und helfen, im Einklang mit der Natur zu leben.

Maybe they stand by helplessly as their tenement buildings go up in flames. Or maybe they get held up at gunpoint by somebody who wants more money than he could steal from his church collection box.
