| The Civil Rights Classic |
The movie;
Selma, chronicles the civil rights fight of Martin Luther King against the state of Alabama where Blacks were denied the right to register to vote.
Standing between Lyndon B. Johnson the President of America and King is the racist Governor George Wallace who made it his personal mission to curtail the rights of the Blacks.

| David Olewoyo as King and Carmen Ejogo as Coretta Scott King |
A moving docudrama, it is well paced and keeps the audience longing in anticipation for the next thing to happen in this volatile quest by King to secure voting rights for the Blacks from President Johnson through a Bill of Rights.
The walk across the bridge from Selma to Montgomery by King and the protesters as they faced the local police force bent on beating them down is the climax of this movie.
This movie has great stars both in starring roles and in cameos.

| Attractive Ejogo |
David Olewoyo stars as King while Carmen Ejogo stars as his wife Coretta. Johnson was played by Tom Wilkinson with cameos from Cuba Gooding Jr,Giovanni Ribisi and Wendell Pierce. Oprah Winfrey acted as Annie Lee Cooper and also co-produced
Selma.
Great movie to enjoy if you like witty dialogue.
