Winner of a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress and a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress for Viola Davis. Nominated for 4 Oscars.

Fences is the story of Troy Maxson, a mild-century Pittsburgh sanitation worker who once dreamed of a baseball career, but was too old when the major leagues began admitting black players. He tries to be a good husband and father, nut his lost dream of glory eats at him, and causes him to make a decision that threatens to tear his family apart.

Fences is directed by Denzel Washington from a screenplay by August Wilson, adapted from Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
