Description:

In 1940s New York City, the film follows author Richard Wright and playwright Paul Green as they work together to adapt Wright's acclaimed novel, Native Son, for a Broadway show. The opening night is anticipated as a significant event, but a disagreement over one page of the script occurs right before the premiere. As the curtain rises, they must address their differing artistic visions while navigating issues of race, class, and artistic honesty. The movie is a dramatic look at the complexities of creative partnerships and a detailed depiction of a pivotal time in American theater.
