Will Smith Returns to Spotlight to Promote ‘Emancipation’ Film About Slavery

Will Smith is returning to the public spotlight. It was announced that his film “Emancipation” will be released on December 2, and Smith has already started promoting it. The actor appeared at a recent screening in Washington, D.C. The release date caught many by surprise, since it comes less than a year after the controversial ‘slap seen round the world’ at the Academy Awards. Apple is producing “Emancipation,” and has decided to release it in time to be considered for an Oscar next year.
