“Selma” is the new feature film about the efforts of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to force southern states to adapt to the 1964 Voting Rights Act.

Selma is not a documentary. It is a film meant to remind us what folks sacrificed to get a universal right to vote not only enacted but respected throughout this country.

Los Alamos Daily Post

Some (okay all) of my family members are continually telling me I have no sense of humor. I prefer to think of myself as discerning where comedy is concerned. In any case, I’m generally a hard sell with comedy, so when I tell you I was rolling in the aisles and laughing my head off along with the rest of the full house at Los Alamos Little Theatre Friday for opening night of “Murdered to Death” it’s quite a compliment to the play and the performers.
