Barry Jenkins, Academy Award-winner for Moonlight, in a movie based on the book by James Baldwin, talks about the most painful topics: race, violence, and injustice. Set in Harlem in the 1970s, the story of a man accused of a crime he did not commit turns into an atmospheric melodrama.

‘If Beale Street Could Talk’ 'Moonlight' director Barry Jenkins brings a colorful, idealistic eye to James Baldwin's 1974 novel about a young couple tragically separated by a false arrest. (Variety)
