ALICE WALKER: BEAUTY IN TRUTH
“An intimate, exquisitely rendered portrait of one of the great artists of our time.”
Ava DuVernay, Director, SELMA
By award winning filmmaker Pratibha Parmar, and broadcast on American Masters | PBS, ALICE WALKER: BEAUTY IN TRUTH is the first film biography of writer and activist Alice Walker. Walker made history as the first black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction for her groundbreaking novel, The Color Purple.
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.
