Andra Day stars as American jazz singer Billie Holiday in this biographical drama directed by Lee Daniels. In 1947, despite enjoying international success, Holiday finds herself targeted by the federal government for her refusal to cease performing her popular but controversial song 'Strange Fruit'.
