  This story is based on Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and revolves around a Black family in Georgia where success is learned from lessons in adversity. In 1909, teenager Celie (Desreta Jackson) gives birth to two children and is virtually sold off to sharecropper Alfred (Danny Glover) who marries her and then sells the children. Celie is treated like a slave. Later, Albert moves his mistress Shug (Margaret Avery) into the house. Celie (now played by Whoopi Goldberg) develops a good relationship with Shug and Alfred's take-no-guff daughter-in-law Sofia (Oprah Winfrey). Through their friendships, Celie gains the strength to leave Albert and begin a new life. The film received 11 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Actress (Whoopi Goldberg), and two for Supporting Actress (Margaret Avery and Oprah Winfrey). A "must see."

Cast: Howard E. Rollins Jr., Adolph Caesar, Denzel Washington, Art Evans, David Alan Grier, David Harris, Robert Townsend, Wings Hauser, Dennis Lipscomb, Larry Riley, William Allen Young, Patti LaBelle, Scott Paulin, John Hancock, Trey Wilson

  Racial hatred in the military is depicted in this story about a Black Army lawyer, Captain Davenport (Howard E. Rollins Jr.), who is given a murder case when Sergeant Waters (Adolph Caesar) is killed. When he arrives at the Fort he discovers that proud Black soldiers do not understand sneering White soldiers; both groups are so steeped in their prejudices that it seems there is no hope that they can get together. This film does a good job of focusing on man's inhumanity to man and was nominated for an Oscar; Adolph Caesar was nominated for Supporting Actor.
