Ernest Withers was a photographer based in Memphis, TN. He photographed everything that happened in town from baptisms to weddings to funerals. When the Civil Rights Movement began, he photographed that as a part of life in town, including the day MLK was shot.

He was also an informant for the FBI for many many years.

This is a complicated story, because the whole situation is complicated.

You have 24 hours to watch it on PBS’ app as part of their “Independent Lens” programme.

Very much recommended.

★★★★☆
