Octavia Spencer stopped by this morning's TODAY to talk about her new film 'Black or White,' in which she plays a grandmother fighting for custody of her biracial child. The Oscar winner stars alongside Kevin Costner in the film which hits theaters today. Watch the appearance below!

BLACK OR WHITE is the story of a grandfather (Academy Award winner Kevin Costner) who is suddenly left to care for his beloved granddaughter.

When the little girl's paternal grandmother (Academy Award nominee Octavia Spencer) seeks custody, a legal battle ensues that forces the families to confront their true feelings on race, forgiveness and understanding. Anchored by an all-star cast and based on real events, the movie is a look at two seemingly different worlds, in which nothing is as simple as black or white.
