Emancipation (2022 film)

Emancipation is an 2022 American historical action thriller film set in Louisianna in the 1860s after President Abraham Lincoln declared an end to slavery in the US. The film was directed by Antoine Fuqua and co-produced by Will Smith, who stars as a runaway slave headed for Baton Rouge. He must survive the swamps while being chased by slave catchers and their dogs. Written by William M. Collage, the biographical film is loosely based on the lives of Peter and/or Gordon, one of two formerly enslaved Black men whose photographs, including one of a bare back heavily scourged from an overseer's whippings, were published magazine illustrations worldwide in 1863, and gave thew abolitionist movement proof of the cruelty of slavery. The film also stars Ben Foster as a ruthless slave hunter and Charmaine Bingwa as an enslaved wife and mother. The film employs an artistic desaturated color palette reminiscent of black-and-white film.
