Executive producer Isha Price — sister of Serena and Venus Williams — shares why it was so vital that her family’s history was depicted honestly in the Oscar-nominated drama.
Critics Choice Awards Winner Jane Campion Tells Williams Sisters She Faces a Competition Hurdle They Do Not: Men
Matriarchs of the family, especially in films like ours, often come across as the stronghold. This is usually depicted in the absence of a strong father. Not so in our home. As strong as my father is, my mother, Oracene Price, was still the actual glue that held it all together. She was the doer, the provider, the comforter and sometimes even the friend that we all needed at various times of our lives.
The complicated relationship among siblings often plays out in real life in such a huge way. I cannot tell you how many times I have been reminded by people who have not spoken to their siblings in years of how refreshing it was to see the very loving though very real and commonplace relationship of sisterhood. To be able to have that relationship with my sisters, all of them, and to have that shown onscreen is one of the biggest honors of our lives.
