Synopsis: “A novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from Black entertainment uses a pen name to write a book that propels him into the heart of the hypocrisy and madness he claims to disdain.” ~ IMDb
Comments (Spoiler Alert): It’s an interesting story and worth watching. The story addresses racial issues but did it in a way that was ‘light’ (meaning, the movie was listed as a comedy/drama).
