Precious, released to critical acclaim in 2009, follows the life of a 16 year old girl, living in Harlem in the late 1980s. She is subjected to continual sexual and verbal and physical abuse by her parents and has a child from her father, and then becomes pregnant with a second one when it's discovered by her high school principal whom makes arrangements for he to be transferred to another school, for gifted students whose circumstances are our of the ordinary and in this case, that means her being a pregnant minor. In this environment, she finds acceptance, emotional support and is recognized for her abilities and promise to access scholastically, giving her much confidence. Lee Daniels is well known for directing Monsters Ball which won the Oscar for Best film in 2001 and this film was lacking distribution when Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry stepped in and bank rolled it and convinced studios to release it. Well their gamble paid off in spades. It won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, it was made for $10million and garnered $63million at the box office and was nominated for 6 Oscars winning two. It's a fabulous film of hope, compassion and promise.
