Hailed by critics and audiences alike, Fences has been nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actor (Denzel Washington), Best Supporting Actress (Viola Davis) and Best Adapted Screenplay (August Wilson).

An unforgettable and timeless masterpiece, Fences "connects with people on a deep, emotional level" (Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Times) and pulses with the universal truths of love and forgiveness, despite what lies beyond your own fence.
