Ratner chronicles the final 30 days of preparation for a groundbreaking performance that takes place on New Year’s Eve 2020 on the roof of the legendary Beverly Hilton.

Bieber himself, alongside his wife Hailey, supplements the coverage with self-shot videos, bringing the audience into their home and daily routine. 

But before the 240 invited guests can line the balconies of the hotel suites overlooking the stage, an array of challenges threatens to derail the ambitious undertaking, including strict Covid-19 protocols, a rare Los Angeles thunderstorm and a last-minute rush by fans to log into the livestream.

Finally Bieber, backed by his dancers, band and an army of stagehands, delivers an electrifying performance amid- a spectacular array of lights, lasers and pyrotechnic effects. From the wistful “Boyfriend” to an emotional “Holy,” dedicated to Hailey, the artist’s often autobiographical songs have the elated concertgoers singing and dancing along with him.

MY NAME IS PAULI MURRAY

Fifteen years before Rosa Parks refused to surrender her bus seat, a full decade before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned separate-but-equal legislation, Pauli Murray was already knee-deep fighting for social justice.

A pioneering attorney, activist, priest and dedicated memoirist, Murray shaped landmark litigation—and consciousness— around race and gender equity. As an African American youth raised in the segregated South— who was also wrestling with broader notions of gender identity—Pauli understood, intrinsically, what it was to exist beyond previously accepted categories and cultural norms.

Both Pauli’s personal path and tireless advocacy foreshadowed some of the most politically consequential issues of our time. Told largely in Pauli’s own words, My Name is Pauli Murray is a candid recounting of that unique and extraordinary journey.
