Hulu has released the official trailer for The United States vs. Billie Holiday which also shows that this Lee Daniels movie is heading to Hulu. Back in November 2020, we some images from Daniels’ next movie. Most of the new images revealed Grammy-nominated singer Andra Day’s transformation into the iconic Billie Holiday. Now it turns out like Andra Day’s transformation was just the first of many other great revelations about this new movie. The United States vs. Billie Holiday teases a timely, gripping story with its spotlight mostly focused on Holiday. Rather than showing an all-encompassing biopic style to Holiday’s life and fame, the United States vs. Billie Holiday focuses on the singer’s life in the 1940s. This period of time saw the federal government target and arrest her in their war on drugs in America. The federal investigation into Holiday’s drug use overlaps with the singer’s increasing stardom and her fight to sing “Strange Fruit”, which is a song.
