An inspirational and timely portrait of courage and resilience set during a turbulent time in American history, this epic story is inspired by the legend of 19th century freedom fighter, Shields "Emperor" Green, a descendant of African kings turned outlaw slave in the pre-Civil War South. A man fighting to free his family and bring an end to tyranny, Emperor fights his way north, joining forces with abolitionist John Brown for a daring raid on Harper's Ferry, helping to alter the course of American history in the process. An action-packed and powerful epic shining a light on one of history's unsung heroes, Emperor stars Dayo Okeniyi (The Hunger Games, Shades of Blue), Academy Award nominee James Cromwell (The Young Pope, The Green Mile), Kat Graham (All Eyez on Me, The Vampire Diaries) and Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee Bruce Dern (The Hateful Eight, Nebraska).
