Just returned from seeing Selma. As far as I am concerned this movie should be included in any discussion of top films for 2014. A fine acting job by David Oyelowo as MLK.
The film covers a small period where King is trying to get LBJ to get a voting rights act to congress. Like Vietnam where film footage shown on the evening news started turning the country against the war, television coverage of Montgomery and Selma generated a great deal of empathy for King's actions.
