Andrew Young: The Dirty Work is the forthcoming documentary film directed by Matt Kay. The film will be released on MSNBC on Friday, October 17, 2025.
Here's the official synopsis as per IMDb:
"A Civil Rights icon shares his remarkable path from pastor to MLK's ally, congressman, UN Ambassador, and Atlanta mayor, revealing the gritty realities of fighting for social change across decades of American history."
The makers have recently released their official trailer, which showcases the namesake civil rights leader who was once close to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He eventually joined politics in the United States of America.
Andrew Young: The Dirty Work trailer is out
The official trailer for the documentary film Andrew Young: The Dirty Work has been released. The two-minute and 27-second-long trailer begins with the voiceover of Young talking about his time with Martin Luther King. The latter calls Young a "dedicated leader" in one of his speeches. Young then reveals that at that time, no one wanted to work for King because he was constantly attacked, stabbed, bombed, and jailed.
The trailer showcases a compilation of archival, black and white footage, combined with Young's voice-over. He then talks about the moment he was asked by King to join his nonviolent movement against racism and segregation in the USA.
In a press note, the makers have said:
“Andrew Young: The Dirty Work is an unprecedented behind-the-scenes story, exclusively told by Andrew Young, a visionary strategist, tireless negotiator, and trusted friend to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who rose from the frontlines of the Civil Rights Movement to the corridors of global power. Young, reflecting in his own words at 93 years old, redefines ‘the dirty work’ – the quiet, difficult labor that makes landmark change possible.”
MSNBC has recently acquired the documentary film. Rachel Maddow, who is one of the executive producers of Andrew Young: The Dirty Work, released a statement:
“At a time when confrontations with the government and grassroots protests are back at the center of American political life, the civil rights movement is more than just a moral cornerstone for our country – it’s a living, breathing, practical manual for how to fight for what’s right, and win that fight, and maybe even save your own soul in the process. Andrew Young’s story is not gauzy or romantic, it’s the gritty truth of what it takes to build and sustain a winning movement. Andrew Young: The Dirty Work is about how hard it is to be a hero, and how beautiful, too.”
Matt Kay, Kevin Vargas, Jenna Berman, and John R. Bohrer are the producers. The executive producers of the film include Maddow, Ken Druckerman, Phil Griffin, Rashida Jones, Anneka Jones, Pete Ross, Banks Tarver, and Myah Overstreet, as per IMDb.
Deadline has stated that the film's footage will be shared by Maddow at the MSNBC LIVE ‘25: This Is Who We Are on October 11th in Manhattan. It will be released on the MSNBC channel on October 17th.
