Synopsis:
In 1962, during a time of segregation, Tony Lip, an Italian-American bouncer from the Bronx, is hired to drive and protect Dr. Don Shirley, a world-renowned black pianist, on a concert tour. As they make their way from Manhattan to the Deep South, they rely on the Green Book to unearth establishments that welcome people of color, where Shirley will not be refused service and will not be humiliated or mistreated.
In a country where the civil rights movement is beginning to make itself heard, the two men are confronted with the worst of the human soul, which they heal thanks to their generosity and humor. Together, they will have to overcome their prejudices, forget what they considered insurmountable differences, and discover their common humanity.
This true story, which began as a two-month journey undertaken out of obligation, will give birth to the friendship of a lifetime...
