About the film
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is a 2020 American musical drama film directed by George C. Wolfe and written by Ruben Santiago-Hudson, based on the 1982 play of the same name by August Wilson. The film stars Viola Davis, Chadwick Boseman in his final film role, Glynn Turman, Colman Domingo, and Michael Potts. Inspired by the career of blues singer Ma Rainey, the film dramatizes a turbulent recording session in 1920s Chicago. Produced by Denzel Washington, Todd Black, and Dany Wolf, the project was originally announced alongside Washington's Fences in 2013 as part of his ten-picture deal with HBO. The adaptation eventually moved to Netflix and filming began in Pittsburgh in 2019. Boseman died during post-production in August 2020, making Black Bottom his final film appearance. The film is dedicated to his memory.
