Don’t miss the 40th anniversary screening of this American classic.

Adapted from Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning story, The Color Purple spans 40 years in the life of Celie (Whoopi Goldberg), an African American woman living in the South who survives incredible abuse and bigotry. After Celie's abusive father marries her off to the equally debasing "Mister" Albert Johnson (Danny Glover), things go from bad to worse, leaving Celie to find companionship anywhere she can. She perseveres, holding on to her dream of one day being reunited with her sister in Africa.
