Action Biography Drama History

7.5 / 10

The unforgettable true story 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 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 story of how the revered leader and visionary Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and his brothers and sisters in the movement prompted change that forever altered history.

This isn't about racism, this is about cruelty towards another human beings for no reason. The people didn't care if they were black they just needed someone to hate it's almost human nature to hate. The day racism ends is the day we forget it exists. - @Thursday, November 8, 2018 4:48 PM

I wish this movie was less focus on MLK. He is a great man and he did a lot for the movement but so did countless of other brave African Americans and even whites. Like give me a movie about Diane Nash (who literally went to prison while pregnant) or James Bevel or John Lewis. Like MLK is only one part of the freedom movement. I'd like to see a deeper narrative because the freedom struggle is so much more complex. - @Friday, October 12, 2018 6:38 AM

Martin Luther King Jr was one of the greatest people to ever live, not only for the fight that he fought, but the fact that he fought it in the name of Jesus! He was a man of God, and that is why he was so strong. God gave him strength to endure persecution. Can I get an amen? - @Tuesday, February 6, 2018 12:52 AM
