For Colored Girls




Director:
Tyler Perry

Stars:
Janet Jackson, Anika Noni Rose, Whoopi Goldberg (Full Cast)

Taglines:
Many voices. One poem.

Genres:
Drama

The Plot:
A drama centered on a group of black women whose lives and experiences intersect at a 12-step healing program.

The movie is based on Ntozake Shange's play "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf." Unlike the original play which featured only 7 women known by colors performing the collection of 20 poems, the movie has given each of the 20 characters names. Each of the poems deal with intense issues that particularly impact women in a thought-provoking commentary on what it means to be a female of color in the world.

' don't be so insecure to that person you think having a better life than you do, coz sometimes, that one thing you're jealous of, is the only thing she has, and of all the fun simple things you enjoy, who knew, she might have been praying so hard to be in your shoes.' - dkny
