The February 2015 issue of Variety Magazine celebrates Selma film stars, from the director, Ava DuVernay, lead character, David Oyelowo and the producer, Opray Winfrey as they pose for the cover page and also discuss the movie and racism issues.
Ava talked about the long road to making the film, with a $20M budget, and why the film is so major and how she hopes the film will aid protesters around the country.
Oprah Winfrey talked about the timeliness of the film as the killings of countless African-American men have sparked widespread outrage and a fierce national debate on racism.
David Oyelowo dishes on the connection he feels toward Martin Luther King and stepping into his character.
