I only knew the basics regarding the civil rights movement in the States, and I didn’t remember that Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize. The movie focuses on Martin Luther King’s march from Selma to Montgomery to protest the lack of voting rights for African-Americans. The story takes us through the planning stages of the march, multiple meetings with the President, the attack on the marchers as they cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge and finally, their triumphant and legal march into Montgomery.
