This unforgettable true story chronicles the tumultuous 3 month period in 1965
when Dr Martin Luther King Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in face of violent opposition, via an epic march from Selma to Montgomery Alabama on 21st March 1965.
The film is warm, smart, generous and moving even though the film-makers were not allowed to use Dr King's actual words.
It will call forth tears of grief, anger, gratitude and hope.
