Nat Turner, a former slave in America, leads a liberation movement in 1831 to free African-Americans in Virginia that results in a violent retaliation from whites.
Virginia’s antebellum plantations become a pressure cooker of rebellion as Nat Turner sparks a bloody uprising against the chains of slavery. This visceral period piece trades quiet tragedy for the kinetic energy of a revolution in motion.
