Fifty one years ago, the nation witnessed police attacks on civil rights protesters in Selma, Alabama, on TV. The graphic coverage of Bloody Sunday prompted John Witeck, a University of Virginia sophomore, to travel to Selma to march for justice. Fifty one years later, John and his nephew Brian Jenkins, the director, returned to Alabama to document John's story, the fight for voting rights, and the evolution of the Voting Rights Act, which was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2013.
