This drama set in the 1940s follows legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday, who seeks to be silenced by the FBI's Federal Bureau of Narcotics. Attempts are made to restrict the singer's freedom of performance, especially with the song "Strange Fruit," which denounces the lynching of the African-American community in the U.S. Billie's unwavering determination to use her platform to disrupt the status quo contributes to the new generation of civil rights activists. The film sheds light on lesser-known aspects of Holiday's life and her activism against racial inequality, offering a valuable perspective on her legacy that is not limited to her vibrant artistic career.
