Oprah Winfrey, Jackée Harry, Robin Givens, and Cicely Tyson star in this gripping drama about a group of strong-willed women living in the rundown housing project of Brewster Place - a street overflowing with tales of courage and anguish. The classic award-winning 4-hour TV miniseries produced by and starring Oprah Winfrey. Based on the successful, National Book Award-winning debut novel by Gloria Naylor. Due to its success, an episodic TV series based on the miniseries aired one year later, also starring Winfrey.
