MGM+’s Godfather of Harlem: Forest Whitaker in Conversation with Whoopi Goldberg

Mar 24, 2023


Join Forest Whitaker, Academy Award-winning actor and executive producer, for a conversation on his hit series, Godfather of Harlem, with the legendary Whoopi Goldberg, who has a recurring role on the series. Based on a true story, Godfather of Harlem follows crime boss Bumpy Johnson (Whitaker) and his struggle for control over his neighborhood — battling the Cuban mob, the CIA, and his own demons — after returning home in the early 1960s following eleven years in prison. Following the screening, hear Whitaker and Goldberg discuss the gripping new season — the inspiration for the series, Whitaker’s remarkable character and transformation, stories from behind the scenes, and more. Godfather of Harlem is produced by ABC Signature.
