David Oyelowo stars in this American drama directed by Ava DuVernay. Based on the Selma to Montgomery marches of 1965 that led to the passing of the Voting Rights Act, the film follows the story of James Bevel (Common), Hosea Williams (Wendell Pierce) and Martin Luther King Jr (Oyelowo) as they campaigned for their right to vote. As Luther King Jr led hundreds of like-minded people along the 54-mile highway from Selma to the Alabama state capital of Montgomery, they were met with violent conflict and brutal opposition and had to fight their way through to simply claim what was rightfully theirs. The cast also includes Cuba Gooding Jr, Tom Wilkinson and Oprah Winfrey. The film won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.  Produced by Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt’s company Plan B (12 Years A Slave ) and Christian Colson (Slumdog Millionaire ), the acclaimed film Selma tells the gripping and moving true story of the pivotal moment in Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s epic civil rights struggle - the 1965 protest march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama to secure voting rights for African-Americans. Starring British actor David Oyelowo (The Butler, A Most Violent Year) as Martin Luther King Jr alongside Tom Wilkinson, Carmen Ejogo, Tim Roth and Oprah Winfrey, the 2015 release of Selma celebrates the 50th anniversary of the passing of the voting rights act and this triumphant story of the power of the people.
