The Ed Sullivan Documentary
It is one thing to look at the transformation of the United States of America through the prism of what Dr. King brought to the table. But the Civil Rights Movement would never been able to sustain itself with the intensity that it did if there were not subtle forces at play. That subtle force was… Ed Sullivan.
– Harry Belafonte, Civil Rights Activist and Award Winning Singer and Actor
Documentary Overview:
From the dawn of television, through the turbulent 50s and 60s, the Ed Sullivan Show was the MOST watched program in America, where up and coming acts became cultural phenomenons.
Beyond churning out stars, the Ed Sullivan Show sent an important, unspoken, radical message – during a time of insidious racism-that went way beyond entertainment – challenging the nation to do the same.
