How to set initial values for ModelMultipleChoiceField?

I'm trying to set the initial values for a field in my form :

class EspecialidadesForm(forms.Form):
    especs = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=Especialidade.objects.all())

My View:

especs_form = EspecialidadesForm(initial={'especs':salao.especialidades})

'especialidades' field is a ManyToManyField field.

Template :

{{ especs_form.especs }}

Its returns me

'ManyRelatedManager' object is not iterable

A many-to-many field is a manager, you need to call .all:

especs_form = EspecialidadesForm(initial={'especs':salao.especialidades.all()})
