Introduction
The film is the compelling story of an extraordinary woman's journey from her birth in a paper-thin shack in the cotton fields of Eatonton, Georgia to her recognition as a key writer of the 20th Century. She made history as the first black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for her groundbreaking novel, The Color Purple, which has been transformed to a Hollywood movie and Broadway musical. Praised and pilloried, Walker is a fearless pioneer whose voice has driven people to express joy as well as anger and ruthless vilification. In 2010, Walker was awarded the LennonOno Peace Award for her ongoing humanitarian work by Yoko Ono. Alice Walker’s inspiring journey is also a story of a country and a people at the fault line of historical changes. The film offers audiences a penetrating look at a life lived with passionate commitment to truth and justice.
