The Golden Globe Award nominated movie SELMA is a story about the struggle by African Americans that lead to the signing of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.
The film chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.(played by David Oyelowo) led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to Montgomery was one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement.
On Sunday 8 February, 2015, the movie was premiered in Nigeria for the first time and in attendance was David Oyelowo and co-cast Carmen Ejogo who played his wife in the movie.
