Selma (2014)
Incredibly well-done, well-acted story of the Selma marches

This is an incredibly powerful movie. The acting is top-notch, the directing is striking and well-paced. I did not remember some of the key events of the film from my memory of history classes in school, and it was invigorating and inspiring to see some of the story. I thought that the timeline of the movie was perfect, as it didn't overdo how much we needed to see of MLK's life and didn't draw things out too much.
I loved that we were able to see some depictions of behind-the-scenes stuff. This was interesting and made the movie so much better than a bunch of (wonderful) MLK speeches. It reminded me of Lincoln in that regard. Definitely worth a watch.
