Selma

 In march 1965, Martin Luther King organizes and leads a walk between two cities of Alabama, Selma and Montgomery. The walkers goal is to protest against the segregation still in effect in this state, where everything is arranged so that black people can not vote. The afro-american filmmaker Ava DuVernay with this film – which is the first one to put King and the civil rights movement at the forefront – creates an outstanding work of education, affirmation and engagement. It claims that today just like yesterday, in the United States of America as anywhere else, we do not ask for freedom but we proclaim, impose and build it.
