Selma is a movie about Racism in America, and the struggle for civil rights. The movie shows us how segregated the south was. Black people were denied the right to vote and were seen as second class citizens. There were thousands of racially motivated murders, and the black community had had enough. They were determined to be equal, and they believed in achieving it in a peaceful manner. The were led my Martin Luther King, who is played by David Oyelowo in the movie. Most people really enjoyed the movie even though it was considered quite sad at times.
