Through its compelling narrative, "Emancipation" shines a light on a dark chapter in history, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and learning from the past.

Good movie spoiled by B&W format
This is actually a pretty good movie, don't know what those scoring it low are on about.
Biggest problem is the B&W format, it does absolutely nothing to make the movie more appealing, if anything it just annoys the viewer, after all those characters in the movie would have experienced a green swamp so why not show that!
Good acting and good actors.
Ok, it's a bit bleak plot wise but as it's based on a true story that would be realistic in real life.
Slightly cliched in places with sone flat dimensionless characters but it's not the worst movie you'll ever see.
Glad to see Will Smith doing something productive as he's a damn good actor when he gets the right roles.
