Plot Synopsis

The United States vs. Billie Holiday‘s plot synopsis: based on the chapter “The Black Hand” in the best-selling book “Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs” by British journalist Johann Hari, “The legendary Billie Holiday, one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time, spent much of her career being adored by fans across the globe. Beginning in the 1940’s in New York City, the federal government targeted Holiday in a growing effort to escalate and racialize the war on drugs, ultimately aiming to stop her from singing her controversial and heart-wrenching ballad, “Strange Fruit.”

Led by Oscar-nominated director Lee Daniels and introducing Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Andra Day, The United States vs. Billie Holiday unapologetically presents the icon’s complicated, irrepressible life.”
