Films Selected by Kara Walker: Beloved

  • This is a past program
This adaptation of Toni Morrison’s novel depicts the harrowing psychological impact of slavery. Set years after emancipation, Oprah Winfrey portrays Sethe, a former slave now living a peaceful life in rural Ohio. The horrors of her past are seen through chilling flashbacks, casting light on the tragic events that led to the haunting of her idyllic home.
