Will Smith returns to the film scene after the scandal with Chris Rock and the veto of the Hollywood Academy. The Academy Award winner for Best Actor for King Richard stars in Emancipation, a historical drama that follows the life of a runaway slave and will be available on Apple TV+.
The film is inspired by the true story of Beaten Peter or Whipped Peter, the subject of a shocking image captured on camera in 1863, during a Union Army medical. The photograph, which shows a black man with his back mutilated by lashes, was released by Harper’s Weekly, marking a turning point in society’s condemnation of slavery, which would later spark a civil war in the United States. .
This is the trailer. @mundiario
