Description
Filmmaker Antoine Fuqua discusses his latest movie, "Emancipation", with CBS News' Vladimir Duthiers. Inspired by a true story, "Emancipation" stars Will Smith as Peter, a slave in the 1860s who escaped from his plantation. A real photograph of Peter's bare back, scarred by whippings, helped spark the abolitionist movement. Fuqua shares what drew him to the project and the importance of telling this powerful story -- he calls it his "love letter to the country." Plus, Fuqua also comments on the infamous slap at the 2022 Oscar involving Will Smith and Chris Rock - and whether he's concerned it will taint viewers opinion of the film. "Emancipation" begins streaming on Apple TV+ December 9th.
