Fences (2016, dir. Denzel Washington)
A Hidden Beach Winter of Culture film night at the Electric Palace, Hastings.
Denzel Washington directs and stars in this powerful adaptation of August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play. In 1950s Pittsburgh, sanitation worker Troy Maxson — a former baseball player shut out of the major leagues by segregation — wrestles with regret, pride and duty as he struggles to provide for his wife Rose (Viola Davis, in an Oscar-winning performance) and their son. A towering portrait of family, race and the fences we build around ourselves.
