DVD Reviews of Selma, Lord, Selma
DVD Review: Against The Odds
Summary: 5 Stars
I will start off by saying I am white, and I was so totally blown away by the courage of Sheyann and her best friend Rachel. Even though Rachel did not march on that courageous second attempt to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge, I am sure she walked with her friend in spirit. Racism's ugly face was well reprsented, especially with young Jonathan's murder. But nothing was to stop Dr. King's army from defying its opposition to crossing the bridge and marching all the way from Selma to Montgomery. I was especially moved at the end when Sheyann's father presented her with a pair of walking shoes for himself, showing he would be walking beside her on the next freedom march. This movie shows the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement and 2009's Presidential election shows us its progress. Another Disney movie to show more on this is Disney's Ruby Bridges, a girl even younger than Sheyann. These two girls would show the world courage does not just belong to grownups.

Summary: 5 Stars
I had this movie a long time ago, and I played it until the tape snapped one day. Jurnee Smollett as the lead character, Sheyann Webb, is an amazing actress whose maturity beyond her years is noteworthy. She has incredible range, better than even some of the adult actors and actresses we see today. You really believe that she wants justice and equality when she marches with Dr. King and those in her community. I must warn any who haven't seen it, however, it is heart-wrenching as you see the faces of inequality and oppression and violence who make every attempt to thwart justice and have everything remain the way it is. Ultimately, it is a story of triumph, hope, belief, and faith.DVD Review: Selma, Lord Selma
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a fifth grade teacher, and we use this video while studying the civil rights movement. I have found that it is a wonderful way to allow the children to see, first hand, what the movement was all about. The movie allows students to get a real sense of the fear people had to overcome in order to make a change in our society. This movie is a great supplemental teaching tool!
Description of 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!General DVDs
