SELMA (2014): SELMA chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights
in the face of violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to
Montgomery culminated in President Johnson
(Tom Wilkinson)
signing the
Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant victories for the
civil rights movement. Director
Ava DuVernay’s
SELMA tells the real
story of how the revered leader and visionary Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
(David Oyelowo)
and his brothers and sisters in the movement prompted
change that forever altered history.
Co-starring Oprah Winfrey, Martin
Sheen, Carmen Ejogo, and Tim Roth.
