SM Cinema and Expression Music Philippines Celebrate the Life of Dr. Don Shirley with Release of ‘Green Book’

Witness the extraordinary power of friendship as Oscar Awards Best Picture nominee, Green Book finally arrives at SM Cinema!

In line with the release of the movie, SM Cinema partnered with Expression Music Philippines for the exhibit of the life of Dr. Don Shirley at the Event Cinema at the SM Mall of Asia. Several students of the Expression Music Philippines, a prestigious music school in the country, held a piano recital in the venue to pay tribute to the critically acclaimed film megged by Peter Farrelly.

Green Book features the inspiring true to life story of world-class African-American pianist, Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali). About to embark on a concert tour in the Deep South, he hires tough-talking Italian-American bouncer, Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen), to accompany him on his journey. Happening in an era plagued with blatant racism and segregation, the two form an unlikely bond as they face these challenges together, transcending all their differences.
