Selma
In 1965, Selma, Alabama, is a powder keg ready to ignite over voter rights issues. The film starts out with bang and presents the many sides of the civil rights issues of the day. This is a terrific history lesson. David Oyelowo is convincing as the master orator Martin Luther King Jr. This film is a must see, powerful, brutal, and enlightening. The demonstrations leading to the famed march from Selma to Montgomery was eye-opening for the American people. At the end of the film is some actual news footage and a tribute to some of the key players making history.
Alien gives it 3 ½ "we shall overcome" stars out of 4.
