The flick is based on the true story of Whipped Peter. The photo of his whipped back started circulating around and left people realizing about the atrocities of slavery. Smith was someone who did not want to represent the Black community with sad movies about slavery, but this movie changed his opinion.

In fact, Emancipation is making rounds for the Oscars already, but with the ban, Smith may not be able to attend the awards. Reviews of the movie show the movie is one of the finest from the actor.
