Fences

Troy Maxson, a rubbish collector in Pittsburgh in the 1950s, was once a power hitter in the Negro Leagues, but the colour line kept him out of the major leagues and he has never forgiven the world for it. At home he rules over his wife Rose and his teenage son Cory, who has a shot at a college football place that Troy refuses to back, while his brother Gabriel, wounded in the war, and his elder son Lyons, a musician, drift in and out of the yard.
