According to its tagline on IMDb, Straw follows a “single mother [who] navigates a series of unfortunate events, leading her down an unforeseen path where she becomes embroiled in a situation she never envisioned, finding herself at the center of suspicion in an indifferent world.”

Tyler Perry’s Straw follows a mother pushed to the edge. Starring Taraji P. Henson, the film explores Black motherhood, mental health, and sisterhood.

Taraji P. Henson stars in a “Dog Day Afternoon”-style drama from one of America’s most prolific filmmakers.
