About
Based on Alice Walker’s 1982 novel of the same name, "The Color Purple" spans 35 years in the life of Celie, a teenage African-American girl in Georgia who is given by her abusive stepfather to an even more abusive husband.
Though Celie spends most of her days as a servant in her own household and is cut off from those she loves by her husband, she remains hopeful she will ultimately be reunited with her sister Nettie and her children.
Over the years, increasingly jaded, Celie finds ways to cope: a potential lover in the fabulous Shug Avery, a friend in her stepson’s wife Sofia, and a love of making stretchable pants that turns into a booming business.
Through a string of unfortunate events, Celie learns that the most important thing is that she is a survivor, and that no matter what happens to her, she is still here.
