In a moving ode to the historic landmark, Director Roger Ross Williams (Life, Animated ) reveals the theater's varied past yet also keeps an eye towards the future as the house prepares to stage "Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The Apollo, which opened at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival, serves as a meditation of African- American identity as its heart and the theater stands as a symbol for the black struggle in the United States as a whole.

As she approaches her 90th birthday and shows no signs of slowing down, Dr. Ruth revisits her painful past and unlikely path to a career at the forefront of the sexual revolution.
