Every story has a heartbeat. His stories shaped a century.
August Wilson is one of the most influential American playwrights, a voice who brought the struggles, triumphs, and spirit of African American life to the world stage through his unparalleled Pittsburgh Cycle. In "The Voice of the Hill," a limited biopic miniseries, we delve into the soul of a man who immortalized the forgotten, celebrated the ordinary, and gave life to the cultural tapestry of the 20th century. The miniseries chronicles Wilson's journey, from his early life in Pittsburgh’s Hill District—a vibrant, complex community that inspired much of his work—to his rise as a playwright whose words echoed on Broadway and beyond. Each episode explores key moments in Wilson’s life, interwoven with the stories behind his iconic plays like Fences, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and The Piano Lesson.
