Our take

Ava DuVernay became the first Black woman to receive a Golden Globe nomination for Best Director with this inspiring account of a civil-rights march that changed the world. With a moving performance by David Oyelowo as Martin Luther King, Selma rivetingly dissects an ongoing struggle for change.
