  • Selma Lord Selma
  • Disney presents a truly inspiring motion picture that accurately captures one of the most historically significant events in the struggle for civil rights. In 1965, during the turbulent early days of the right-to-vote movement, a young Alabama school girl (Jurnee Smollett -- EVE'S BAYOU, JACK) is inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Clifton Powell -- DEEP RISING, WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE) to resist the degradation that her fellow African Americans are suffering. Along with a white seminary student (Mackenzie Astin -- IRON WILL) from the north, and against the ever-increasing threat of racial violence, she promises to do what she can to help Dr. King's efforts. A powerful true story that will both uplift and entertain -- their perseverance and patience ultimately prevail, culminating in the famous civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery!
