Description

[Machine Translation] A song forbidden by the land of the free: "Strange Fruit" is a suspenseful entertainment film that reveals the hidden truth about the confrontation between Billie Holiday, an unauthorized genius singer, and the United States of America. In the 1940s, at the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, which called for the abolition of racial discrimination. The FBI, ordered by the government to crush the seeds of rebellion, targets the immensely popular black jazz singer Billie Holiday. The FBI sends Jimmy Fletcher, a black FBI agent, undercover to investigate the danger that his hit song, "Strange Fruit," may incite a movement. But the more adversity she faced, the more Billie's stage presence shone brightly, transcending color and status and captivating everyone. But as Jimmy begins to fall for her, the FBI sets a trap for her, and what conspiracy awaits her?
*Rated 15-and-over.
