Ma Rainey's Black Bottom

In the 1920s, famous singer Ma Rainey (Viola Davis) was getting a lot of attention from the public. Her work inspired many musicians and held a special place in the hearts of her fans. Known as the Mother of the Blues for her incredible singing talent, she was an important figure in the music industry.

However, Ma Rainey also had a reputation for being demanding and often arriving late to recording sessions. This reputation peaked when she and her band members began recording at Paramount Recording Studios. During the sessions, she started numerous arguments with everyone involved.

As a result of Ma's behaviour, everyone got into trouble; she even clashed with her own manager and music producer. Sadly, one of the band members, Levee (Chadwick Boseman), wanted to quit the band and got his own record deal, making things even more complicated. Can Ma Rainey's career continue to shine after the chaos?
