Rent The Women of Brewster Place (1989)

The Women Of Brewster Place is a gripping and loving group portrait of seven women whose backs are literally against the wall: a surrounding wall whose brick facade has turned the address of Brewster Place into both a real and symbolic dead end. It is a street overflowing with tales of courage and anguish. For the women who call this home, including Mattie Michael, Brewster Place is a source of conflicts amid the dark and overcrowded tenements. Despite their different backgrounds, these women of Brewster Place are united in a single act of outrage against the walls of racism, sexism and violence, in the film's stirring climax.
