➱ STORYLINE:
Selma (2014) 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, Alabama, culminated in President Lyndon B. Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement. The film highlights the courage and determination of the men and women who risked their lives for justice and equality.
➱ STAFF REVIEW:
Selma (2014) is a powerful and poignant portrayal of a pivotal moment in American history. Directed by Ava DuVernay, the film captures the spirit and intensity of the civil rights movement, anchored by a commanding performance from David Oyelowo as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The film's meticulous attention to historical detail and its unflinching depiction of the struggle for voting rights make it both educational and deeply moving. The ensemble cast, including Tom Wilkinson as President Johnson and Carmen Ejogo as Coretta Scott King, delivers strong performances that enhance the film's emotional impact. Selma is not only a tribute to Dr. King's legacy but also a reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and justice.
