About this movie

Academy Award winner Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover and Oprah Winfrey star in director Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Color Purple. From 1909 to 1949, Celie (Goldberg--Ghosts of Mississippi), a Southern Black woman, gradually gains self-respect as she strives to educate herself and to find love--despite an abusive spouse and a society biased against her race and her sex.

This film has given me the strength to keep fighting no matter what! The color purple is an inspirational film that shows the cultural differences and terrible living conditions black women endured years ago. We have come a long way but we still have a long way to go before There is truly equality.
