A Ripple of Hope is a compelling documentary that dives deep into the chaotic aftermath of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968. The film captures the tension that gripped the nation as Robert Kennedy, during his presidential campaign, chose to speak to a crowd in Indianapolis rather than retreat in fear. The atmosphere is thick with emotion, real footage interspersed with a haunting narrative. It’s fascinating how the pacing balances between the growing unrest in cities and the calm strength of Kennedy's words. It makes you reflect on themes of unity and the fragility of progress, all presented without any flashy gimmicks. The performances from those who recount their experiences add a raw authenticity that’s hard to shake off.
