From Lee Daniels, the co-creator of “Empire” and the director of “The Butler” and “Precious.” This is a dramatization of historical events during which jazz legend Billie Holiday was targeted by the U.S. government, and was subsequently arrested for possession of narcotics. Also during this time, Holiday’s iconic 1937 protest song “Strange Fruit” was scrutinized by the Justice Department in an attempt to stop her from singing it.
