ABOUT GIVING VOICE
Directed by James D. Stern & Fernando Villena, 2020, 87m
A new generation of performers is discovered in Giving Voice, which follows the emotional journeys of six students as they advance through the high-stakes August Wilson Monologue Competition, an event which celebrates one of America’s preeminent playwrights. Every year, thousands of students from 12 cities across the United States perform the Pulitzer Prize winner’s work (Fences, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) for a shot to perform on Broadway. Directors James D. Stern and Fernando Villena capture the students as they discover themselves and the world around them Wilson’s Century Cycle, a canon of ten plays portraying the 20th-century African-American experience. Executive producer Viola Davis and her Fences co-star Denzel Washington share the impact that Wilson’s timeless artistry and legacy have had on their careers and their hopes for the young people carrying it forward. Winner of last year's Sundance “Festival Favorite Award,” Giving Voice is an Endgame Entertainment and Pilgrim Media Group production, in association with Endeavor Content, Impact Partners, Get Lifted Film Co., and JuVee Productions.
