Black Star: Dreamgirls 
Join us in celebrating some of cinema’s greatest talents in Black Star, a major new season from the BFI.
Black Voices: A season of films featuring legendary singers and iconic performances; stories of love and life, hardship and redemption…and dancing.
Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy star in this love letter to the R&B music of the ‘60s and ‘70s.
Adapted from the 1981 Broadway musical of the same name, this hugely entertaining film follows the history and evolution of American R&B music through the eyes of Detroit girl group The Dreams (a riff on The Supremes) and their manipulative record executive. Standouts in an all-star cast include an Oscar®-winning Jennifer Hudson, and Eddie Murphy as raucous soul man Jimmy ‘Thunder’ Early.
