Inhalt: |
An artfuI 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 coIIeagues 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 "IittIe black girl" seriously, Morrison refIects on her lifelong deconstruction of the master narrative. Woven together with a rich coIlection of art, history, Iiterature and personaIity, the film incIudes discussions about her many criticaIly acclaimed works, including noveIs "The BIuest Eye," "SuIa" and "Song of Solomon," her roIe as an editor of iconic African-American Iiterature and her time teaching at Princeton University. Featuring interviews with Hilton AIs, AngeIa Davis, Fran Lebowitz, Walter MosIey, Sonia Sanchez and Oprah Winfrey, who turned Morrison's novel "Beloved" into a feature film. |
