American Violet has been described as “AMAZING! The first must-see film for African-Americans in 2009,” by BET.com and Jeffrey Lyons of NBC Reel Talk has said “A powerful, compelling true story of a woman of courage.” The movie is now available on DVD and Blu-ray.
Inspired by a true story, American Violetfollows the struggle of a young African-American mother to clear her name after being wrongly arrested for dealing drugs in an impoverished Texas town. An honest woman with no hard evidence to justify the accusation, she is forced to risk everything in order fight unfair prosecution. The filmstars touted newcomer Nicole Beharie, Academy Award nominee Alfre Woodard, Will Patton, Academy Award nominee Michael O’Keefe, Tim Blake Nelson, Emmy Award winner Charles S. Dutton and Xzibit.
It is truly a compelling story that must be watched about survival and the persistence to never give up for your god-given right to be free.
“EXCELLENT performances by Beharie, Woodard, Nelson and Patton”- The Washington Post
“POWERFUL performance by newcomer Nicole Behaire” – B+, Entertainment Weekly
“IDEAL MOVIE for an ideal time” -San Francisco Chronicle

It sickens me to realize how the drug culture drags down innocent bystanders. This story is outrageous – even more so because it’s true.
