Bringing you back to the civil rights movement

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2015)

When i first went to see this movie, i was skeptical on how good the movie was going to be. Most people know the story of Selma or at least heard of the assault of the men and women on that infamous bridge as well as the struggle for voting rights in the south for blacks. However, when I started watching the film, my first instincts were quickly proved wrong; the beginning scene, where the young girls were killed by a bombing came as a shock but it kept me watching up until the end. The way the director portrayed the Doctors struggles at home gave me a new outlook on Martin Luther king's life and how much he really did sacrifice for the cause of civil rights for blacks. the violence in the movie was not gruesome, but gave you a clear understanding on the pure hate that some of these people had towards blacks in the south. All in all, the movie was perfectly crafted to bring you back to the fight for civil rights.
