The film's ensemble voice cast uses first-person narration sourced from autobiographies and biographies about Daddy King, family attorney Murray M. Silver and other King relatives and associates.[1][2]
Set against a backdrop of sociopolitical intrigue and anarchy spanning three generations of the King family, In the Hour of Chaos also goes behind-the-scenes of America's major domestic conflicts and takes a critical view of liberalism's effect on the black civil rights movement.
In the Hour of Chaos was released on February 19, 2016 as part of a Black History Month event sponsored by the Greater Cleveland Urban Film Festival (GCUFF), which included writer/director Bayer Mack's debut film The Czar of Black Hollywood,[3] and premiered on public television on July 25, 2016.[4][5] The film was featured at San Francisco's de Young Museum as part of the Bay Area's "MLK Day of Revelations".[6]
