Average Rating: Rating: - A Good One to Show in School for MLK Day "Selma, Lord, Selma" fills an important niche by telling a story of the Civil Rights Movement in a manner that is accessible to upper elementary students (and older). The characters and situations are believable, and the story is told from the perspecive of a young--almost 12 years old--African-American girl who got involved after writing a report on Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. While this film portrays the harshness of the situation, including two deaths, it is not graphic or gratutitous. I personally appreciated the way the non-violent Civil Rights movement of Rev. King and his followers was based on their Christian beliefs. The film is not preachy, but the religious context of the movement is realistically portrayed. As the school librarian, I will be recommending this video to teachers in our elementary school as an option for the Martin Luther King holiday. Rating: - Selma, Lord, Selma--- Great Movie I had watched this movie in school during my history class, we were studying the civil rights movement.And I think that this movie did a great job showing and describing the event. I think that this movie is very inspirational, and it would make you will grateful for what you have. This movie is from the view of an African American little school girl who wanted to take part in the civil rights marches in her community. She was a very brave girl who was very determined to reach the goal of freedom. Other characters in the movie were also very great and very good with their role like the young Reverend in the movie named Jonathon. Rating: - This Movie Was Great I watch many of the Disney Channels original movies but this was one of their best. I found myself tapping my foot to the beat of the rythem of the song "Turn Me Round". The movie is about Selma, Alabama in 1965. Martin Luther King is leading the different marches and the police are beating and killing people. You find yourself a bit teary-eyed at the end of this movie.
