Ray (2004)
Film "Ray" jest biograficznym dramatem i opisuje życie muzyka Raya Charlesa. Ray urodził się w małym i biednym miasteczku w stanie Georgia. W wieku 7 lat stracił wzrok na skutek cukrzycy. Stało się to wkrótce po tym jak był świadkiem wypadku, w którym zginął jego młodszy brat. Jednak natchniony przez matkę, która nie pozwoliła, aby jej syn poddał się chorobie, znalazł sens w życiu. Była nim muzyka. Ray nauczył się nut czytając podręczniki napisane językiem Braille'a. Grając w klubach zyskał reputację wyjątkowego muzyka i piosenkarza. Stworzył własny styl, który zawierał w sobie elementy ewangelii, jazzu, muzyki country i orkiestralnej. Film pokazuje Raya jako geniusza muzycznego, który w życiu walczył z rasizmem, ale także z uzależnieniem od narkotyków.
