Alice Walker: Beauty in Truth tells the
compelling story of an extraordinary woman’s journey from her birth in a paper
thin shack in the cotton fields of Georgia to her recognition as a key writer
of the twentieth Century. Walker made history as the first black woman to win a
Pulitzer Prize for her groundbreaking novel, The Color Purple. A universal
story of triumph against all odds not that different from Wlaker’s own. Born,
the eight child of sharecroppers, her early life unfolded in the midst of
violent racism and poverty during some of the most turbulent years of social/political
changes in the U.S. The film offers a penetrating look at the life and art of
an artist, a self confessed renegade and human right activist.
