Denzel Washington’s cinematic adaptation of Fences ranked among the most critically acclaimed projects of 2016, going on to secure plenty of nominations (and even some victories) at the Academy Awards the following year. The movie is an adaptation of August Wilson’s popular stage play of the same name, which follows a man named Troy who once dreamed of being a baseball player but missed out, carrying the loss with him for the rest of his life. It’s a dramatic examination of how racism and inequality can burrow into a person’s life and be carried down to the next generation.
