Alice Walker – Beauty & Truth - Film
ALICE WALKER: BEAUTY IN TRUTH, by Pratibha Parmar, tells the
compelling story of an extraordinary woman. Alice Walker made history as the
first black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction for her groundbreaking
novel, The Color Purple. Her early life unfolded in the midst of violent racism
and poverty during some of the most turbulent years of profound social and
political changes in North American history during the Civil Rights Movement.
Mixing powerful archival footage with moving testimonials from
friends and colleagues such as Howard Zinn, Angela Y. Davis, Gloria Steinem,
Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Quincy Jones, Steven Spielberg and Danny Glover, ALICE
WALKER: BEAUTY IN TRUTH offers audiences a penetrating look at the life and art
of an artist, intellectual, self-confessed renegade and human rights activist.
