Henson, Halle Bailey, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and Ciara. It is an adaptation of the 2005 Broadway musical of the same name, which in turn is based on Alice Walker’s 1982 novel of the same name.
The film tells the story of Celie, a young Black woman living in the rural South in the early 1900s. Celie is abused by her father and husband, and she is separated from her beloved sister Nettie. Through a series of letters, Celie shares her story of pain and resilience, and she eventually finds her voice and her sense of self-worth.
The Color Purple is a powerful and moving story about love, loss, and redemption. The film is expected to be a major awards contender, with its all-star cast and its timely themes of female empowerment and racial justice.
The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 25, 2023.
