“Emancipation - Oltre la libertà” racconta l’avvincente storia di Peter (Will Smith), un uomo che fugge dalla schiavitù, contando sul suo ingegno, sulla sua fede incrollabile e sul profondo amore per la sua famiglia per eludere cacciatori spietati e sfidando le paludi della Louisiana alla ricerca della libertà.
