Ep. 138 - Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (Wilson, 1982/ Wolfe, 2020)

**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS**

For our Connections Series finale, we close out with a powerful, resonant adaptation of August Wilson’s "Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom" (2020), directed by George C. Wolfe and adapted for the screen by Ruben Santiago-Hudson. This tense, intimate drama set in a 1927 Chicago recording studio explores exploitation, racism, and the self-hate that racism breeds - all anchored by powerful performances from Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman. Does this play translate well to the big screen? Listen to find out! And thanks for joining us this season - Film is Lit will be back later this summer with season 16 - our most thrilling season yet! Surprises are on the horizon ;)
