Film Screening: Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am (2019)

One of the few American authors to write for an African American audience, Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison refused to be defined by the establishment. Through a trove of archival material, evocative works of contemporary art, and interviews with Oprah Winfrey, Angela Davis, and Morrison herself, this film revisits Toni Morrison’s famed books and learns about the inspiration for her writing. Throughout, Morrison is effortlessly graceful, insightful, and candid, making this intimate, comprehensive portrait of her life and works an exploration of what it means to be a writer whose stories are so deeply intertwined with often-unrealized national truths.
