First Trailer for Nate Parker’s Provocative New Thriller ‘American Skin’

0
By 2UrbanGirls on December 8, 2020 Uncategorized
Nate Parker’s film American Skin weaves a layered story in the tradition of Sidney Lumet’s 12 Angry Men and Dog Day Afternoon, that follows a Black Iraqi War Vet (Nate Parker), who after being denied of a fair trial following the shooting death of his teenage son (and only child) by a white police officer, desperately seeks justice and accountability for his son’s death. American Skin is written and directed by American actor / filmmaker Nate Parker, his second feature after making The Birth of a Nation previously, as well as a few shorts. Produced by Lukas Behnken, Tarak Ben Ammar, and Mark Burg. Presented by Spike Lee. This originally premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year. Vertical Ent. will release Parker’s American Skin direct-to-VOD starting January 15th, 2021 early next year.
“In 2014, following the death of Michael Brown, I traveled to Ferguson, Missouri to gain a better understanding of the tensions between law enforcement and young men and women of color. The most tragic moment of this trip arrived when I stood downtown between two infuriated groups of citizens. From one side came yells of ‘Justice for Mike Brown’ and on the other ‘Support Our Police’,” said Parker.  “It became clear to me, instantly, the disconnect in our understanding of citizenship, law enforcement, and our responsibility to preserve American life. As an American citizen, father, brother, son and artist, I felt compelled to use my platform as a filmmaker to respond to this crisis in a way that could not only promote social equity, but initiate a global culture shift that can result in the preservation of lives. If saving one life is the only thing this film achieves, it will have served its core purpose.”

Here’s the first official trailer for Nate Parker’s American Skin

Producers – Mark Burg, Tarak Ben Ammar, Lukas Behnken
