One dream can change the world…

“Selma” chronicles the story of Dr. King’s march from Selma to Montgomery, AL., a tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when he led one of the most dangerous campaigns to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent oppression, a journey that would forever alter history.

The movie stars an Oscar-worthy cast including David Oyelowo who plays King, along with Tom Wilkinson, Cuba Gooding Jr., Alessandro Nivola, Giovanni Ribisi, Common, Carmen Ejogo, Lorraine Toussaint, Tim Roth and Oprah Winfrey as “Annie Lee Cooper.” Be sure to watch the film’s moving first trailer and see this compelling movie, in select theaters on Christmas Day, and nationwide January 9.
