Self Made (or, as its fully titled: Self Made: Inspired By The Life Of Madam C.J. Walker) documents the incredible untold life story of Madam C.J. Walker - a hair care pioneer who overcame hostile turn-of-the-century America, feuds, turbulent marriages and a ton of insurmountable odds to become the first ever African-American self-made female millionaire.

Based on Walker's biography In Her Own Words, that official description right there is more than enough to draw viewers into this incredible tale, but just in case you needed any more enticement, Walker is portrayed by the incomparable Octavia Spencer.

Seriously, check this one out: It's time for the world to hear Walker's story.

Release Date: March 20
