Story Synopsis

The Color Purple received eleven Academy Award®-nominations and countless “Best Picture of the Year” awards. Based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, this is a powerful, richly textured, decades spanning story of the indomitable Celie (Goldberg), a young woman forced to marry a brutal man she calls “Mister” (Glover) in the deep American south. Goldberg won the Best Actress Golden Globe Award and an Oscar® nomination—and the acclaim for her impressive portrayal as her best work ever.
