It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.

This film was directed by Steven Spielberg, adapted from the novel by Alice Walker. The film stars Danny Glover, Whoopi Goldberg, and Oprah Winfrey. It tells the story of a Black Southern woman and her struggles over four decades of abuse.
