Based on a true story.

A brilliant, introspective Black performer from the Bahamas rises from obscurity to become the most famous entertainer in America—by donning blackface. As he conquers the nation’s grandest stages, he must navigate the devastating paradox of using racist caricature to smuggle truth, artistry, and dignity into a culture determined to deny his humanity.
