Selma

David Oyelowo is back, as he takes on the role of Martin Luther King - which looks set to be one of the most important performances of his acting career to date.

And it is Oyelowo who takes centre stage in this brand new clip as King stands and demands the vote for the African American people. Take a look at this powerful moment:

Selma sees Ava DuVernay back in the director's chair, while Tim Roth, Tom Wilkinson, Giovanni Ribisi, Cuba Gooding Jr, Martin Sheen, Oprah Winfrey, and Carmen Ejogo make up an all-star and super talented cast list.

Selma has already picked up some Golden Globe nominations - including Best Motion Picture, Drama, Best Actor and Best Director - and could be a major dark horse when it comes to the Oscars.

Selma, the story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic struggle to secure voting rights for African-Americans. 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of this pivotal moment in the US Civil Rights Movement and this triumphant story of the power of the people.

Selma is released 6th February.
