The Contraband
Banners at McNeese State University has teamed up with Cinemark Movie Theatre in Lake Charles to present four free film screenings throughout the 2016 season.
The first film is Academy Award-winner “Selma” to be held at 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27, at the Cinemark Movie Theatre.
Directed by Ava DuVernay, this moving film chronicles the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. leads a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition.
The 2015 film follows King, played by David Oyelowo, and his brothers and sisters as they lead one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement as the march concludes with President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
This inspiring film received many award nominations but only won an Academy Award for Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song, and a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song – Motion Picture, with the rousing song of “Glory.”
