The film is based on the famous play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf by Ntozake Shange (1975). It's comprised of a series of 20 poems that tell a story of love, abandonment, rape, domestic violence, abortion etc... Each situation is symbolized by a color.

P.S. The Art Work that was created to help promote this film is amazing
