From The Hollywood Reporter:
Maynard Jackson was the Moses of his time" is a typical comment in Samuel D. Pollard's documentary about the three-term Atlanta mayor, the first African-America to hold that office and the first of any major Southern city. The statement may be hyperbolic, but it reflects the enduring influence of the formidable figure who was instrumental in advancing civil rights from protests to political action. Recently given its world premiere at DOC NYC, Maynard proves as moving as it is informative.
From The AJC:
The documentary details the life of Maynard H. Jackson, Atlanta’s first black mayor, and has received praise at a number of film festivals, including the Atlanta Film Festival. Maynard Jackson III and his wife, Wendy Eley Jackson, are among the executive producers of the 90-minute documentary.
