This powerful, Oscar-winning film, directed by Ava DuVernay, chronicles the pivotal three-month campaign in 1965 when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a historic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, in the fight for equal voting rights. Amidst violent opposition, this courageous journey ultimately led to the signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a landmark victory in the civil rights movement.
