Selma

Selma is the story of a movement. The film 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 (Tom Wilkinson) 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. (David Oyelowo) and his brothers and sisters in the movement prompted change that forever altered history.

This was a great movie.  Amazing performances across the board and the way that the story was told and played out was great.  Movies this well done make you really feel like you were there for these historical events - both the good and bad.  It also is the type of movie that is so well done this should be used for educational purposes and to open those ignorant eyes that still remain closed.

I would absolutely recommend people checking this movie out.  It is an excellent watch and really takes you back to that point in time.
