Dessert Reception to Follow
SELMA is the story of a movement. The film chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to Montgomery culminated in President Johnson (Tom Wilkinson) signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement. Director Ava DuVernay's Selma tells the story of how the revered leader and visionary Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) and his brothers and sisters in the movement prompted change that forever altered history.
The film is produced by Christian Colson, Oprah Winfrey, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner. Named one of the best films of the year by the New York Times, Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair, among many others, Selma was recently nominated for four Golden Globe Awards, five Spirit Awards and The Critics Choice Movie Awards have anointed the film one of the year's best.
