Synopsis:
Tensions and temperatures rise over the course of an afternoon recording session in 1920's Chicago as a band of musicians await trailblazing performer, the legendary "Mother of the Blues", Ma Rainey (Viola Davis). Late to the session, the fearless, fiery Ma engages in a battle of wills with her white manager and producer over control of her music. As the band waits in the studio's claustrophobic rehearsal room, ambitious trumpeter Levee (Chadwick Boseman) - who has an eye for Ma's girlfriend and is determined to stake his own claim on the music industry - spurs his fellow musicians into an eruption of stories revealing truths that will forever change the course of their lives.
Adapted from two-time Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson's play, 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' celebrates the transformative power of the blues and the artists who refuse to let society's prejudices dictate their worth.
