An abstract interpretation of the 2019 live-action remake of "The Lion King", "Black Is King" tells of a young king who gets cast out as a baby and returns as an adult to reclaim his throne. Throughout his journey, the young man reconnects with his history and identity, making him feel even closer to his culture and people than ever before. Directed, written, and produced by Beyoncé, and supported by an all-star lineup of both African and American musicians, fashion designers, and video directors, "Black Is King" is a celebration of Black people and culture in its truest form.
