This documentary is an intimate meditation on the legendary storyteller that examines her life, her works and the powerful themes she has confronted throughout her literary career.
Toni Morrison, author of 11 novels and recipient of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize and the American Book Award for her novel “Beloved,” as well as the 1993 Nobel Prize for Literature, among many other honors, leads an assembly of her peers, critics and colleagues on an exploration of race, history, America and the human condition.
Morrison was born on Feb. 18, 1931, in Lorain, Ohio. The second of four children, Morrison’s birth name was Chloe Anthony Wofford. When she was 12 years old, she converted to Catholicism and was baptized under the name Anthony after St. Anthony of Padua. She later went by the nickname of “Toni.”
