Summary: Frank "Tony Lip" Vallelonga, a gruff bouncer looking to make extra cash, and Dr. Don Shirley, a talented pianist and no-nonsense professional, embark on a music tour to the south. The color of their skin isn't the only difference between these men. The odd pairing is actually based on a true friendship.
Takeaways: The film is named after The Negro Motorist Green Book, a real guidebook to keep Black folks safe during cross-county travels. Dr. Shirley can only hope music will overcome the persistent southern racism.
