"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive hate; only love can do that." - Martin Luther King Jr.
Inspiring but at the same time anger-inducing film about human rights struggles of African-American people in Selma, Alabama led by Martin Luther King Jr.
It's a shame that David Oyelowo missed the spot in the acting category as well as Ava DuVernay for directing, doesn't matter though. What really matters is the fact that you have achieved a cinematic masterpiece in which was able to depict one of mankind's greatest victory.
One comment that I would like to say is that I felt the first hour was slow-paced. While I don't know the exact events, I thought that there could have been other events that need to be highlighted such as his relationship with Malcolm X, speech in Washington D.C., etc.
Freedom fighters and rights advocacies must watch this.
