Synopsis
Young Bessie Smith is facing her first audience north of the Mason-Dixon line. She has already seen them heckle a performer from the stage earlier. She tries to find courage in a jar of moonshine but instead animates the furniture of her dressing room and it leads her back through the challenges and triumphs of her difficult childhood that have destined her for stardom. -->
