The Color Purple follows the tumults and traumas of African-American women in the south of the United States in the early 1900s. Looking at the intersection of race, gender, and class, the life story of Celie Harris is an investigation into the resilience and strength of black women. Spanning from a charged and violent childhood all the way through to her aching adult years, Celie finds friendship and love along a path, that is otherwise marked by trauma. Holding firm against the prevailing winds, the survival and strength of women is at the center of this story that above all else is a tale of liberation.

This movie marks the second adaptation of the source material that was first made into a movie by Steven Spielberg in 1985. The movie is a direct adaptation of the Broadway musical. Spielberg stays on as a producer for the movie alongside the iconic pairing of Quincy Jones and Oprah Winfrey. Oprah herself starred in the 1985 adaptation. Scott Sanders, the producer of the stage musical also joins as a producer on the project. Directing this adaptation is Ghanaian filmmaker and multimedia artist Blitz Bazawule. Bazawule impressed producer Oprah Winfrey with his 2018 movie The Burial of Kojo, which was a major factor leading to his landing the role of director.
