The civil rights film hit theaters nationwide today, and NYC students will be able to watch it for free.
Thanks to some prominent black business leaders, NYC students will be afforded a free ticket to watch Ava DuVernay’s monumental film entitled “Selma”. Reported from the Hollywood reporter:
Paramount Pictures has partnered with 27 African-American business leaders in New York to offer free admission to its awards contender Selma, centering on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Seventh-, eighth- and ninth-grade students in New York will be admitted to screenings of the film for free at participating theaters if they provide a student ID or report card. The initiative kicks off at 7 p.m. Thursday and runs through Jan. 19, which is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, or while tickets last.
