Dr. King's vision for a "Beloved Community" is a global vision in which all people can share in the wealth of the earth. In the Beloved Community, poverty, hunger, and homelessness will not be tolerated because international standards of human decency will not allow it (see below for more details about the Beloved Community).

THE BELOVED COMMUNITY...
The new film focuses on Dr. Martin Luther King’s articulation of the Beloved Community in that it is possible to create civil, equitable, and harmonious communities through non-violent social change. BCP - through film, storytelling, history, current events, and movement, addresses global issues with local relevance and asks what each of us can do for a change.
