Emancipation

December 4, 2022

Emancipation is a 2022 historical action drama directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by William N. Collage. It is based on the true story of Gordon (named "Peter" in the film), a former slave, and the photographs of his bare back, heavily scourged from an overseer's whippings, that were published worldwide in 1863, giving the abolitionist movement proof of the cruelty of American slavery.

Peter, a slave, flees a plantation in Louisiana after he was whipped within an inch of his life. He has to outwit cold-blooded hunters and the unforgiving swamps of Louisiana on a torturous journey north.

The film stars Will Smith, Ben Foster, Charmaine Bingwa, Gilbert Owuor, Mustafa Shakir, and Steven Ogg.

Emancipation had its first screening in Washington, D.C. on October 1, 2022, and is scheduled to be released in limited theaters on December 2nd, before its streaming release on December 9th on Apple TV+. Watch the official trailer below.
