Pbs: Lorraine Hansberry: A Raisin in the Sun: Representation in Hollywood

Curated by ACT

Learn about the challenges of adapting a play into a screenplay in this video [5:16] from the American Masters film, Lorraine Hansberry: Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart. Hansberry wanted control over the changes made to her play for the movie version of A Raisin in the Sun, however those in Hollywood had their own ideas. This resource works best during a study of the play at a point when students are already familiar with the main characters and the central conflict of the story. Support materials include discussion questions and a handout asking students to think about stereotypes from the past and present.
