Selma, Alabama, Doesn’t Have A Movie House Anymore, So ‘Selma’ Is Showing In An Auditorium

“While the Walton thrived as a community playhouse, it stopped showing movies, which created a kind of cultural segregation for the city: for two decades, to see a first-run blockbuster, Selma residents were forced to drive nearly 40 miles to Prattville, a Montgomery suburb that, unlike Selma, was majority white and affluent. For many, the drive was not just costly and time-consuming, but often dangerous.”
