A lifelong struggle of an African American woman living in the South during the early 1900s.

Celie, a young African-American woman, is raped by her father and bears two of his children. She is then married off to an abusive man and experiences a life filled with struggles.
Fantasia portrays Celie, who endures an unimaginable life while growing up in rural Georgia and ultimately triumphs, thanks in part to the support of the other female protagonists: Danielle Brooks as Sofia and Taraji P. Henson as Shug Avery.

Not to mention the simply glorious costumes, settings, and singing throughout the entire film trailer.
Oprah has joined forces with Steven Spielberg, Quincy Jones, and Scott Sanders to bring

“The Color Purple”
