Emancipation is another original movie coming to Apple TV + starring actor, Will Smith. The film is set to premiere in theaters on Friday, December 2, 2022 before it starts streaming on Apple TV+. Let’s dive in to find out more about the new Will Smith movie.


What is Emancipation About?

Emancipation 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 Will Smith film is inspired by true events. It is based around the 1863 photos of “Whipped Peter,” taken during a Union Army medical examination. The image called “The Scourged Back” was one image that truly inspired it. The image depicts Peter’s bare back mutilated by a whipping delivered by enslavers.
