Just last week I said to my wife that I was tired of watching the same old movies and needed something new. I’m a big movie fan and would rather watch a movie than a show on TV. I’m yearning for some new movie content! If you feel the same way you will want to check out the upcoming DVD and Blu-Ray release for Emperor on August 18th, 2020. This one has really peeked my interest and I’m looking forward to seeing it.

A captivating and emotional story of courage, EMPEROR is based on the iconic American freedom fighter and legend Shields “Emperor” Green (Dayo Okeniyi, Terminator Genisys, “Shades of Blue”) a descendant of African kings turned outlaw slave. The film tells the astonishing tale of Green’s escape from slavery and his transformation into one of America’s greatest heroes. Seeking freedom for his family, Emperor fights his way north, joining the daring raid on Harper’s Ferry, the key battle of the abolitionist movement which helped spark the beginning of the Civil War and alter the course of American history.
