Synopsis: 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.
