This is a biography of the trail-blazing Jazz Singer Billie Holiday. When the government is unable to arrest her due to her song of dissent, Strange Fruits, it accuses her of narcotics use. Her song was about the lynching of black people and hence a threat to the status quo. This movie is a brave portrayal of Billi's life, both its ups and downs. It is based on the book Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs by Johann Hari. This movie is very gripping and thought-provoking!
