Canary Wharf Summer Screens

29 Jun 2025

Watch the Color Purple as part of Canary Wharf's Summer Screens

The Color Purple follows the life of Celie, an African American woman in the early 20th century American South, who endures immense hardship and abuse. Through letters to God and her sister Nettie, Celie narrates her journey from oppression to empowerment. Along the way, she forms deep bonds with other women, including the strong-willed Sofia and the charismatic singer Shug Avery. These relationships help Celie discover her own strength, self-worth, and the power of love and forgiveness. The story is a poignant exploration of resilience, identity, and the transformative power of human connection.
