"In 'Selma' David Oyelowo Attempted to Play Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a Relatable Human" on Off Camera with Sam Jones (2021) (https://bit.ly/2ZQsn94)

"... when you see that he's a flesh-and-blood flawed guy who goes through things that you have gone through or may well in the future go through, it shift things. You know, one of the the great delights for me in playing Dr. King in Selma was when people watch that film and are able to identify with him because that's when you can then see greatness in yourself" (01:51 - 02:27).
