DESCRIPTION:
(from MGM's press release, April 2023) MGM+, a premium linear channel and streaming service, today announced a greenlight for the docuseries Hollywood Black, from Justin Simien's Culture Machine, Forest Whitaker and Nina Yang Bongiovi's Significant Productions, and the Academy Award-winning creative production company RadicalMedia. Based on the book by historian Donald Bogle, this four-part docuseries - directed by Justin Simien (Dear White People), whose upcoming Disney film Haunted Mansion will be released this summer - tells the epic story of the actors, writers, directors, and producers who fought for their place on the page, behind the camera, on the screen, and in the credits. It is a definitive chronicle of a century of the Black experience in Hollywood, and a powerful reexamination of a quintessentially American story - in brilliant color.
