 From Broadway to the big screen, Fences is a powerful drama revolving around a working class family in the 50s. Denzel Washington and Viola Davis successfully transplant their moving performances from stage to film, giving shattering portrayals. Both were nominated for Oscars, with Davis bringing home a well-deserved Best Supporting Actress trophy. One of the top films of 2016, Fences is another essential black film.
