A Raisin in the Sun is a classic film released in 1961, directed by Daniel Petrie and based on the play by Lorraine Hansberry.

The family consists of Lena Younger (Claudia McNeil), her son Walter Lee (Sidney Poitier), her daughter Beneatha (Diana Sands), and her grandson Travis (Stephen Perry).
The film begins with Lena receiving a life insurance check from her late husband’s policy. Lena decides to use the money to buy a house for her family, but Walter Lee has other plans.
