Newcomer David Oyelowo perfectly captured the inspirational message of the Civil Rights Movement in his unforgettable role as Martin Luther King Jr.

"David Oyelowo's transformation into Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is truly outstanding," said Film Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. "He perfectly recreates King's mannerisms and speech cadence, and moreover, captures the spirit of one of the greatest leaders in history, giving audiences a rewarding portrait of this iconic man that is deeply layered and effecting. For this phenomenal portrayal it is an honor to present him with the 2015 Breakthrough Performance Award, Actor."

SELMA dreams of a day when America lives by the rule of its writings - that all men and women are created equal. Ava DuVernay leads this march into history with an inspired vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - whose spirit is embodied by David Oyelowo in a transcendent performance. This is a film that flies the flag high for American film, inviting audiences to rise above the breathless shame of our nation's past and come together as one as we look to the future.
