See the Story Behind Danai Gurira's 'Eclipsed' Play In This New Documentary

You can now see the story behind the Broadway play that made history as the first to feature an all-black, all-women cast and creative team in this new documentary.

Set to premiere in the U.S. on March 1 at 8:00 p.m. EST on Centric, Behind the Curtain: Eclipsed is a multi-part documentary series painting the ascent and realization of Eclipsed—written by Zimbabwean-American playwright and actress, Danai Gurira and directed by South Africa's Liesl Tommy;which starred Lupita Nyong'o, Akusua Bosia, Zainab Jah, Saycon Sengbloh and Pascale Armand.

The series documents the fearless women using art to combat social injustice and to give a voice to the voiceless. Broken into three episodes, each part digs deep into a central theme—context, cultivation and community.

In case you can't catch the doc on Centric, it will also air on the following channels:

• BET Africa: April 2017
• BET France: March 8, 2017
• BET Play: March 5, 2017 (digital premiere)
