Selma

Martin Luther King, Lyndon Baines Johnson and the civil rights marches that changed America.

"Selma," as in Alabama, the place where segregation in the South was at its worst, leading to a march that ended in violence, forcing a famous statement by President Lyndon B. Johnson that ultimately led to the signing of the Civil Rights Act.

Review: Selma

Cinema is full of great stories; uplifting, powerful, moving and proactive. For the exploits of Martin Luther King Jr. you’d expect there to have already been an Oscar hoarding epic. You would be wrong.
