If you want to use a hammer better shy away from the sledge...

"Selma is the story of a movement."  So begins the description in the Film Festival guide book.  It is so much more accurate than referring to the film as a bio-pic of MLKJr.  Although it is suggested that director, Ava Duvernay, has taken some rather controversial liberties, particularly with LBJs legacy the film is a powerful depiction of the events and dynamics that created possibly the greatest episode in civil disobedience in history.  The casting is strong, the performances are brilliant, the cinematography is stunning and overall it is a movie well worth planning to see.  Don't miss it.
