Movies by Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg is a true trailblazer in the world of entertainment. Best known for her groundbreaking comedic performances, she has now brought that same bold, irreverent spirit to her work as a film director. In her 2013 documentary "Whoopi Goldberg Presents Moms Mabley", Goldberg shines a long-overdue spotlight on the pioneering African-American comedian Moms Mabley. Goldberg's approach is both reverential and refreshingly funny, capturing the essence of Mabley's subversive humor and the barriers she broke down for future generations of comedians. It's a fitting tribute from one legendary entertainer to another. But Goldberg's talents extend far beyond comedy. As a director, she brings a unique perspective shaped by her own experiences as a barrier-breaking performer. Her films often tackle issues of race, gender, and social justice, doing so with a sharp wit and an unwavering commitment to giving voice to the marginalized. Goldberg is a director unafraid to take risks and challenge her audience, making her a vital and singular figure in modern American cinema.
