Tells the triumphant story of Peter (Will Smith), a man who escapes from slavery, relying on his wits, unwavering faith and deep love for his family to evade cold-blooded hunters and the unforgiving swamps of Louisiana on his quest for freedom. 

The film is inspired by the 1863 photos of "Whipped Peter," taken during a Union Army medical examination, that first appeared in Harper's Weekly. One image, known as "The Scourged Back," which shows Peter's bare back mutilated by a whipping delivered by his enslavers, ultimately contributed to growing public opposition to slavery. 

The film is helmed by Antoine Fuqua, the screenplay is written by Bill Collage. It's produced by Todd Black, Joey McFarland, Jon Mone, and Will Smith. 

Apple will release Emancipation from 9th December 2022, after its theatrical release.
