Best weekend to see “Selma,” this one — best way to see it? Free, if you’re a student

Paramount and the black business community in at least 25 cities has arranged to give away over a quarter million student tickets to see “Selma” for free. Since young people are the ones who need to know this history (adults could stand a reminder, too), this is a righteous bit of outreach by the studio and a ringing endorsement of the film from people most directly impacted by the events depicted in the movie, civil rights movement marches of the mid-1960s.

Theaters all over Orlando, in Bradenton and other locales in Florida, are participating.

Here’s where you go to see if your city has theaters and business owners signed up to do this.
Great thing to do, sending kids to the MLK movie on MLK weekend.
