In an inspiring new documentary, the preacher and activist talks about his tireless quest for racial justice and equality
There are many familiar sides to the Rev Al Sharpton. There is Al Sharpton the preacher-protester, marching fearlessly through hostile white neighbourhoods in New York City; Al Sharpton the racial justice warrior, arm-in-arm with the mother of the latest police shooting victim; Al Sharpton the progressive TV host, pounding out his monologue on MSNBC.
Then there is the very unfamiliar image that fills the screen towards the end of Loudmouth, the new documentary on his life and battles. It shows Al Sharpton slumped to the ground, literally on his knees.
