The Hollywood actor Will Smith has returned to the screen with Antoine Fuqua's film Emancipation.

A full official trailer of the film has been released, and the movie will premiere in limited theatres on December 2, 2022.

Emancipation will be streaming on Apple TV+ on December 9, although the film has already been screened for various groups such as Congressional Black Caucus, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, National Council of Negro Women, the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, and Power Rising.

The forthcoming movie is based on a real life story of a guy named Peter played by Will Smith, who was a slave and ran away from his plantation in search of his family.

Peter later joined the Union Army, and during his medical test the unusual scars on his bareback were observed, a photo of his back was published in The Independent under the name “the scourged back.” 

The image displayed the cruelty of slavery in The United States. Along with Smith there are other members also included in the film.
