Paramount Pictures annonce pour le 5 mai 2015, le film Selma en édition DVD et Blu-ray de Ava DuVernay avec David Oyelowo, Carmen Ejogo, Tom Wilkinson, Tim Roth et Wendell Pierce.
Des pistes sonores anglaise et française seront disponibles.
Au début de 1965, plusieurs Afro-Américains ne peuvent toujours pas voter. Martin Luther King demande au président Lyndon B. Johnson d'abroger la loi, mais sans succès. Pour le convaincre de changer le cours de l'histoire, il organise trois marches pacifiques dans les rues de Selma dans l'Alabama. La situation s'envenime et tourne au chaos, alors que les blessés se multiplient et que les scènes de violence ébranlent les communautés blanches et noires. Porté par ses discours de tolérance, son dévouement envers sa famille et sa foi inébranlable pour la nature humaine, Martin Luther King tente de rallier partisans et adversaires à sa cause non violente.
