Ernest Withers was a key photographer in the Civil Rights movement. During the Emmet Till trial, Withers took the photo that was said to inspire Rosa Parks. He took those first photos of Martin Luther King on a desegregated Montgomery bus, he photographed the Little Rock Nine, the March Against Fear and the Sanitation Workers Strike. His photos carried the story, he was at the heart of the movement...everywhere. He was also working for The FBI. Sol B River’s documentary drama explores the man, the motivations and key images in the history of the movement, reflecting light on the volatile world of Southern USA in the 1950s and 60s.
