The Long Road To The Hall Of Fame is a feature length documentary about Tony King aka Malik Farrakhan.�You might know Tony King for his past as a football player for the Buffalo Bills, or as a movie star in iconic films like Shaft or Gordon’s War. You might have seen his face touring the world next to Chuck D of the legendary hip hop group Public Enemy, whose security he’s been in charge of for the past 20 years. Political activist and brother in faith of the Nation of Islam who has since changed his name into Malik Farrakhan, his life is a parable spanning the last 40 years of African-American history.�What we are going to tell is a story that goes deeper than the ocean.
