"They whip me, they break the bones in my body more times than I can count… but they never break me!!" Apple TV has revealed an official full trailer for Emancipation, starring Will Smith as an escaped slave in this intense and riveting drama based on a true story. It's set to debut in December for streaming and in select theaters. Smith stars as Peter, a runaway slave who forges through the swamps of Louisiana on a tortuous journey to escape plantation owners that nearly killed him. The film is inspired by the 1863 photos of "Whipped Peter," taken during a Union Army medical examination. Which is finally shown in this trailer at the end. The film's cast includes Ben Foster, Charmaine Bingwa, Gilbert Owuor, Mustafa Shakir, Steven Ogg, Grant Harvey, Jabbar Lewis, Jayson Warner Smith, Ronnie Gene Bivens, Michael Luwoye, Aaron Moten, & Imani Pullum. This looks like a harrowing and infuriating story, once again about American racism. I like the color grading differences between the pre- and post-slavery stories. From the looks of it, this might just be an impressive film overall. It's a late-in-the-year surprise from Apple TV+. ›››
