Sidney Poitier delivers an absolutely rivetting performance in powerful, moving and unforgettable adaptation of Lorraine Hansberry's award-winning play.

This socially aware drama about a struggling African-American family's attempt to rise out of the South Chicago ghetto and move into an all-white neighbourhood, was groundbreaking in its day and its themes still resonate strongly today.

Featuring a who's who of African-American actors of the 50's and 60's, including Claudia McNeil, Ruby Dee and Louis Gosset Jr., A Raisin In The Sun is a poignant, entertaining and compelling tale of family ties, prejudice and the pursuit of the American dream.
