HBO has just released the first trailer for "Confirmation," a drama about the 1991 Supreme Court confirmation hearings and the testimony of former Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill, which forever changed modern race relations. It stars Kerry Washington, Jeffrey Wright, Eric Stonestreet, and Jennifer Hudson. Read on to learn more about this drama. I hope to see more from "Confirmation."

Anita Hill

Anita Hill testified against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings in 1991, a case that captured the nation's attention and brought to the surface issues that many had previously swept under the rug. In "Confirmation," Kerry Washington and Anita Hill portray the women who made this allegation and hope audiences use it as a springboard for discussion about gender and power and holding elected officials accountable.

In 1992, Anita Hill's courageous testimony helped usher in a new "Year of the Woman." She played an integral role in the rise of politically savvy women, creating a surge of powerful female politicians. She was also considered #BlackGirlMagic before that term was ever coined. Now, as women continue to be harassed in the workplace, the spotlight is shining on the ineffectiveness and weakness of Washington and her team.

While "Scandal" portrays the real-life women who faced the same obstacles and were often viewed as "sexist" by their opponents, the show's portrayal of Anita Hill is strikingly similar. Hill's portrayal on the show is rooted in reality, and her testimony at the hearings is a prime example of female empowerment. Although Anita Hill has since been forced to step down, her story continues to be a model for female empowerment and feminism.

Greg Kinnear

The Oscar-nominated actor has been a part of several TV shows, including the hit Netflix series House of Cards. His role as an upstart lawyer grew more interesting as the series continued to grow. In addition to acting in hit TV shows, Kinnear has also starred in films, including the Oscar-nominated drama Strange But True. His television credits also include the acclaimed CBS drama Confirmation, based on the infamous controversy surrounding Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas.

HBO's latest television show focuses on the scandal surrounding the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, which was uncovered during the 1991 hearings of the Senate Judiciary Committee. In the movie, Kerry Washington will play Hill, the woman who brought the allegations against Thomas. Greg Kinnear plays Biden, who oversaw the committee that recommended Thomas for the court. A new teaser for the show has also been released.

The film's inspiration stems from the real-life case of Anita Hill. The film follows the story of Hill, who made headlines in 1991 after accusing Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. She also explains that one of the goals of the HBO project is to further the conversation. To do this, Kinnear and Washington met with Hill, an advocate for equal rights. The movie has a stellar cast, led by Kerry Washington.

Eric Stonestreet

HBO has cast two Emmy-winning actors as a trio of Supreme Court nominees in "Confirmation." The drama will follow the controversial confirmation hearings of Associate Judge Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill in 1991. The events in the movie helped change the way the American public views race relations, sexual harassment, and victims' rights. Kerry Washington and Eric Stonestreet will star as Hill and Wendell Pierce will portray the men.

The two are known for their roles on popular television shows. They appeared together in HBO's "Confirmation" as lobbyist Kenneth Duberstein, who was chosen by President George Bush to assist Clarence Thomas in being appointed to the Supreme Court. Stonestreet is also attached to star in a film project based on the life of the famous silent film star Fatty Arbuckle. The film is being written by John Adams and Kirk Ellis and will be directed by Barry Levinson. The actors are repped by CAA and Thruline Entertainment.

Joe Biden

The HBO documentary based on the story of the 1991 Senate testimony of Senator Joe Biden, "Lucky," is currently in production. Many of the actors in the film are familiar with Hill, who was a Democrat and a prominent opponent of President George W. Bush. This makes it even more ironic that the documentary was named after Biden. But even if Biden isn't the real Anita Hill, he did play the part well. The film's producers took certain liberties in the film, and some of these complaints will be cut from the final version.

While the film's premise is interesting, some critics say that the film's pacing is off-kilter. The second act has bickering between the characters, but this time they play off each other well. In the second act, we see a more emotional side of Biden's character. He's trying to protect the president from a scandal that could have ended his political career.

HBO is also releasing the first trailer for the upcoming drama "Confirmation," starring Kerry Washington as Anita Hill. The film is based on the 1991 Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Clarence Thomas' confirmation to the Supreme Court. Biden had oversaw the Judiciary Committee during his tenure as vice president. The cast also includes Greg Kinnear and Kerry Washington.

Rick Famuyiwa

HBO's latest drama Confirmation re-examines the sensitive dance between gender and race. The film is directed by Rick Famuyiwa and stars Kerry Washington, who scored her breakout role with the award-winning comedy Dope. Kerry Washington, who hails from the Bronx, stars in the leading role. Her demure presence and tight curls convey her undeniable intelligence and resolve.

The film was shot in Atlanta, Ga., where Famuyiwa grew up. The story follows a young woman who tries to get back together with her father. They must face their past and make up for the loss of their son. Their relationship becomes a catalyst for healing for both parties. HBO has a great track record in producing original content, and it's no surprise that Famuyiwa has worked with Hollywood heavyweights to produce some of the biggest hits in the industry.

The Nigerian-American director, who grew up near Los Angeles, had his breakout hit with Dope, about a black nerd in Ingleside, CA who aspires to get into Harvard. The genre-busting dramedy, titled "Confirmation," is a far cry from the film's original title. Famuyiwa's previous work explored the intersection of race and politics in Talk to Me, in which he starred alongside Don Cheadle as an ex-con turned Washington radio personality. Greene, a black gang member, helped keep the city quiet after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

Susannah Grant

HBO has released a first look trailer for Confirmation, a new drama about the sexual harassment scandal that surrounded Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. Written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa, the film stars Kerry Washington as Anita Hill, a woman who came forward with sexual assault allegations against Thomas. The new series is set in the 1990s and follows the life of Hill and the men who worked with her.

A friend of Kerry's was at the premiere and spotted Anita Hill walking away from a car. The two girls immediately recognized each other. They were so similar that Kerry walked in the film with the same walk. The two women talked about the research process and why they were so drawn to the subject matter. The show was an emotional and thought-provoking watch. It will likely spark conversation about the intersection of race and wealth in our country.

In the meantime, Kerry Washington and Susannah Grant will continue to stay in familiar territory. The actress is set to star as Anita Hill in an upcoming HBO telefilm, "Confirmation." Grant will also executive produce the film. It has yet to be announced a release date. However, the actors are excited to take the stage once again. They have already appeared in a number of notable films, including Django Unchained and Ray. While this is Washington's first television movie, it is still a highly anticipated telefilm that could spark more controversy.
