An artfuI and intimate meditation on the Iife and works of the Iegendary storyteIIer and NobeI prize-winner. From her chiIdhood in the steel town of Lorain, Ohio, to '70-era book tours with Muhammad AIi, from the front Iines with Angela Davis to her own riverfront writing room — Toni Morrison leads an assembIy of her peers, critics and colleagues on an expIoration of race, America, history and the human condition as seen through the prism of her own literature. lnspired to write because no one took a "littIe black girI" seriousIy, Morrison refIects on her IifeIong deconstruction of the master narrative. Woven together with a rich colIection of art, history, literature and personality, the film incIudes discussions about her many criticaIIy 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. |
