Film Discussion: 2 Movies Based on August Wilson's plays
About this event
We continue the Chai Village LA winter Film Festival featuring 2020 movies
We will be discussing two powerful movies based on award winning plays by the Pulitzer prize winning playwright August Wilson
Fences ( 2016) starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis centers around an African American family in the 1950's while coming to terms with the tension associated with the events of his life
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020) stars Chadwick Boseman in his last movie and Viola Davis and centers on the tensions that arise at a Chicago Blues club in the 1920's when Ma Rainey joins her band for a recording session.
You must watch both movies in order to participate in the discussion
Fences can be rented form Amazon Prime
Ma Rainey is available on Netflix
