Quick Synopsis
In 1962, Tony Lip, a nightclub bouncer from New York City, is hired to drive Don Shirley, a renowned African American pianist, on a concert tour through the Deep South. During this period of racial segregation, African Americans faced strict laws that limited their access to hotels and restaurants, so they depended on a travel guide known as The Negro Motorist Green Book to find safe places to stay and eat while on the road.
