Sneak Peak at "Precious: Based On The Novel "Push" By Sapphire"
In Harlem, an overweight, illiterate teen who is pregnant with
her second child is invited to enroll in an alternative school in hopes
that her life can head in a new direction.
Claireece Precious
Jones endures unimaginable hardships in her young life. Abused by her
mother, raped by her father, she grows up poor, angry, illiterate, fat,
unloved and generally unnoticed. So what better way to learn about her
than through her own, halting dialect. That is the device deployed in
the first novel by poet and singer Sapphire. "Sometimes I wish I was
not alive," Precious says. "But I don't know how to die. Ain' no plug
to pull out. 'N no matter how bad I feel my heart don't stop beating
and my eyes open in the morning." An intense story of adversity and the
mechanisms to cope with it.
Precious is a major motion picture
based on the novel Push by Sapphire, starring Gabourey 'Gabby' Sidibe,
Mo'Nique, Paula Patton, Mariah Carey, and Lenny Kravitz and is already garnering some major Oscar buzz...
Precious: Based On The Novel "Push" By Sapphire will read you good in Australian cinemas in February 2010.
