Talk to Me

The truth just is

This biopic is based on the life of a famous American DJ. Discovered while in prison, he wangled his way into a prime-time morning slot, and soon developed a devoted following. Set in the turbulent 1960s, history was being made all around him. Things came to a head when Martin Luther King was shot, and the DJ used his influence and oratory skill the next morning to help calm emotions and prevent rioting.
