Description
The film tells the story of the 1965 Selma voting-rights movement through interviews with participants who were teenagers at the time, combined with archival footage. Northern Light Productions has also produced an earlier Selma to Montgomery Trail film, "Never Lose Sight of Freedom" (2006, credited to NPS Harpers Ferry Center), shown at the Lowndes Interpretive Center; that earlier film is a separate production and is not part of this record.
