This feature-length documentary explores the life and legacy of perhaps the most fearless leader of the Civil Rights Movement – and the history that created “the most segregated city in America,” Birmingham. From the laborers that dug the iron ore from Red Mountain to the wealthy “Big Mules” that lorded over them, the city forged people that were completely dedicated to their causes. "Shuttlesworth" traces the unique crucible of Birmingham’s brutal industrial history in creating what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called the “most segregated city in America” and the people that were willing to take it on – personified in the fearless, indomitable Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth. This documentary is a 2023 Southeast Emmy Awards Nominee.
