The real story of the Poor People's Campaign led by Rev. Martin Luther King and continued after his assassination by his wife Coretta. The movie follows a non-linear narrative as we see Coretta alongside NAACP executive and children rights activist Marion Wright, minister and civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy and Calypso singer Harry Belafonte keeping several protest marches for better working conditions for all Americans, with emphasis on the sanitation workers strike in Memphis to reach Washington D. C. where a tent camp is planted. Throughout the whole movie, we see flashbacks in which we see Martin leading the movement and also his very private life with Coretta.
