The United States vs. Billie Holiday is a fictionalized take on the life of the legendary jazz singer, played in the film by “Rise Up” singer and actress Andra Day in a
Golden Globe-nominated performance. But while the movie charts Holiday’s efforts to maintain her career while being hounded by law enforcement and struggling with substance abuse disorder, it’s not just a portrait of the life of one artist: The film also tells an important story about the origins of America’s war on drugs.
The movie is directed by Lee Daniels from a script written by Suzan-Lori Parks, but it’s based on the
Academy Award under her belt. “There were so many times I would try to do little actor tricks to try and get to moments, or to try to manufacture certain situations, and she was just so sharp,” says Eli Goree, who plays a young Muhammad Ali in King’s feature directorial debut,
One Night in Miami. “It was like with your parents you can never get away with nothing, because they ve done it all before. She s just like, ‘Just stop, listen. Trust the words, trust the script, trust the other actors, trust yourself, and in those moments when things are supposed to be special, it ll happen, if you re honest and if you re invested in the work.’”

The scenario four Black legends from the worlds of music, sports, and politics, all gathered at the height of the Civil Rights struggle seems almost too cinematic to be true. And while
One Night in Miami, the Oscar buzz-generating new film directed by Academy Award- and Emmy-winning
If Beale Street Could Talk and
Watchmen star Regina King, is fictionalized, the broader strokes are true. In 1964, friends Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Cassius Clay (Eli Goree), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.) and Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge) all spent an evening together in a Miami hotel in a once-in-a-lifetime meeting of legends.
