Selma (2014)
Here's a movie worth watching again and again. Ava DuVernay's 2014 film, released in time for the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery marches of 1965, documents a pivotal and heroic period of American history, in which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) helps a nation wake up to the realities of racial injustice. The movie covers a period of three months where, despite violent opposition, King Jr. and other civil rights heroes take to their feet to demonstrate their commitment to a cause that culminates in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This is an important story of epic proportions, inhabited by larger-than-life historical figures.
