The United States vs. Billie Holiday

USA 2020 | 130 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

When Billie Holiday releases Strange Fruit - one of the sharpest political acts of the 1940s, a direct protest of African-American lynching in the south – she becomes the target of the FBI. Lee Daniels (Precious) takes this true story and creates an effective drama that intertwines the melodramatic and the political to present a a larger-then-life heroine. With Holidays' music in the background and Andra Day's tremendous Oscar nominated performance, this a film not be missed.
