"Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire" has got another new trailer making its round. Debuted by Apple, this fresh sneak peek compiles footage of what is happening in the life of 16-year-old Claireece "Precious" Jones. Intercepting the footage are Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry, who are explaining why people have to watch the film.
"Precious" is set in Harlem in 1987. It revolves around Precious, an overweight, illiterate sixteen-year-old African-American girl born into a life no one would want. Abused by her mother and raped by her father, she is pregnant for the second time and reaches the ninth grade without being able to read or write.
Instead of being swallowed by depression, she takes the opportunity thrown at her when she is offered the chance to transfer to an alternative school, Each One/Teach One. In the literacy workshop taught by the patient yet firm Ms. Rain, she breaks herself from the chains of ignorance and begins a journey that will lead her from darkness, pain and powerlessness to light, love and self-determination.
Originally titled "Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire", this drama film stars Gabourey Sidibe as Precious. Mo'Nique, Paula Patton, Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz are in supporting roles. Winfrey and Perry serve as executive producers. The movie will open in limited theaters in New York and Los Angeles on November 6.
