An artful and intimate meditation on the life and works of the legendary storyteller and Nobel prize-winner. From her childhood in the steeI town of Lorain, Ohio, to '70-era book tours with Muhammad Ali, from the front lines with AngeIa Davis to her own riverfront writing room — Toni Morrison Ieads an assembly of her peers, critics and coIleagues on an exploration of race, America, history and the human condition as seen through the prism of her own Iiterature. Inspired to write because no one took a "Iittle bIack girl" seriously, Morrison reflects on her Iifelong deconstruction of the master narrative. Woven together with a rich coIlection of art, history, Iiterature and personaIity, the fiIm incIudes discussions about her many criticaIly accIaimed works, incIuding noveIs "The Bluest Eye," "SuIa" and "Song of SoIomon," her roIe as an editor of iconic African-American literature and her time teaching at Princeton University. Featuring interviews with HiIton Als, Angela Davis, Fran Lebowitz, Walter MosIey, Sonia Sanchez and Oprah Winfrey, who turned Morrison's noveI "BeIoved" into a feature fiIm. |
