While there, King wrote the speech he gave before he died – and he did so with the company of one Ansil Saunders.

Saunders is a fly fishing guide in the Bahamas, and he had the chance to take Dr. King out for bonefish during King’s last few weeks of life. The film – Mighty Waters – is a look at a side of Dr. King most of us never knew existed.
