The voyages of Black families,
throughout time, are honored in a tale about a young king’s transcendent
journey through betrayal, love and self-identity. His ancestors help
guide him toward his destiny, and with his father’s teachings and
guidance from his childhood love, he earns the virtues needed to reclaim
his home and throne
These
timeless lessons are revealed and reflected through Black voices of
today, now sitting in their own power. Black Is King is an
affirmation of a grand purpose, with lush visuals that celebrate Black
resilience and culture. The film highlights the beauty of tradition and
Black excellence.
Based on
the music of The Lion King: The Gift, and starring the album's
featured artists and some special guest appearances, Black Is King is a
celebratory memoir for the world on the Black experience. Videos for
“My Power,” “Mood 4 Eva,” and “Brown Skin Girl” are extravagances of
elegance and soul. The film is a story for the ages that informs and
rebuilds the present. A reunion of cultures and shared generational
beliefs. A story of how the people left most broken have an
extraordinary gift and a purposeful future.
