00:07 There's nothing that's been more important or vital to me
00:10 culturally, artistically, than the color purple.
00:16 It is a solid base of spiritual and emotional power for me.
00:24 Every woman and man who has been invisible,
00:28 who has felt unseen and unvalued, this is their story.
00:35 Today, our teacher taught us about a place called Africa.
00:38 Our mommies come from Queens over there.
00:40 You know what that means.
00:42 We, royalty.
00:46 The original film is one of the cornerstones of culture,
00:49 certainly black culture.
00:51 What if we put it back out into the world?
00:53 And kind of paint our own version of it.
00:55 We want to connect with the younger generation.
00:58 Blitz is our incredible director.
01:00 He's putting a little modern twist to it,
01:01 but still capturing the essence of what this film means.
01:04 It's a story of finding yourself, and living it,
01:07 and going after it, no matter what.
01:09 It's about sisterhood.
01:11 And redemption.
01:13 Where you get to see all these strong women shine and be
01:16 who they're truly meant to be.
01:19 A lot of women.
01:20 You seem like trouble.
01:22 Now, I come here out of respect.
01:25 But if there ain't nothing to get,
01:27 there sure ain't nothing to get.
01:30 It's a human story, and that's what makes
01:32 it ultimately great and enduring.
01:36 It's fun and joyful.
01:37 As we say in our community, it fills you up,
01:40 so you leave feeling full.

02:17 I feel so blessed to join the Color Purple family.
02:20 It's just an incredible piece of art.
02:22 That's how filmmaking should be.
02:24 Joy, excitement, Color Purple.
02:27 Let's go.
