Uncover the life and work of the prolific author who made history as the first African American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. The famed storyteller, now in her late 80s, spent her career penning rich, ambitious novels about race, history, and the human condition—carving out space for the voices of other marginalized writers along the way. Through a treasure trove of archival material and interviews with Oprah Winfrey, Angela Davis, and the trailblazer herself, this uplifting doc explores everything from Toni’s famed books—including The Bluest Eye and Song of Solomon—and the inspiration for her writing.
