In his first three features as a director, two-time Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington chose to explore the (often difficult) experiences of Black Americans. “Antwone Fisher” (2002) and “The Great Debaters” (2007) were fact-based and “Fences” (2016) was an adaptation of the 1985 play by August Wilson. All low-budget affairs, each took in practically double their cost at the box office and received favorable reviews. Not huge cash cows, Washington’s pet projects still left everyone involved relatively pleased.
