Green Book

Green Book

Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen star in this powerful film, inspired by a true friendship that transcended race, class and the Mason-Dixon line in 1962. When Tony Lip (Mortensen), a bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx, is hired to drive Dr. Don Shirley (Ali), a world-class Black pianist living in the closet, on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South, they must rely on "The Green Book" to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for African-Americans. Confronted with racism, danger as well as unexpected humanity and humor, they are f-rced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime.
