Powerhouse performances transform August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play into a cinematic masterpiece in this richly woven tapestry of a family divided by their heritage and their dreams. Boy Willie wants to buy a farm his ancestors once worked as slaves, but first he must sell the family's most valued possession—a piano that holds a unique place in their history.

  • RIDING THE BUS WITH MY SISTER - LIV of a series

Riding the Bus with My Sister is inspired by the autobiographical book written by Rachel Simon. In the film, Andie MacDowell plays Rachel, a successful, driven New York fashion photographer, and O'Donnell plays the part of her developmentally challenged sister, Beth. When their father dies, Rachel comes home to be with her sister for what's supposed to be a short visit. The irony is that Beth—the developmentally challenged character—is light years ahead of the suave Rachel in terms of how she deals with life, her capacity for love and understanding— to say nothing of sense of humor, director Anjelica Huston explains. This is a story of acceptance and love.
