The film "Selma" depicts the struggles of the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. As the leader, King felt enormous responsibility as many people's hopes rested on him. King's ethics came from both social pressures as the face of the movement, and his spiritual beliefs. He believed in equality and wanted to free his people from injustice. However, his guiding force was his belief and trust in God, whom he hoped would show him the right path to achieve victory.

Martin Luther King -
pastor, activist and leader of the civil rights movement. On his shoulders rested a huge responsibility - many people placed their hopes in him. The Bergson framework says that the source of ethics can come from two directions - social pressure and mysticism/spirituality. We can spot both cases in M.L King’s ethics. He knew that he was the face of a great movement. He believed in the dignity and truth of equality. He wanted to liberate his people from clutches of injustice, lies and violence. However, above all of that he believed and trusted God. M.L.King hoped that God would show him the right path and help him achieve victory.
