Emancipation's Ben Foster talks about playing Jim Fassel, working with Will Smith, the history of racism in America, growing up Jewish, playing Harry Haft in HBO's Survivor and more.
In Emancipation, Will Smith stars as an enslaved man in Louisiana in the 1860s who escapes his plantation. The film, written by William N. Collage, is loosely based on the real-life story of Gordon (named "Peter" in the film), a former slave, and the photographs of his bare back, heavily scourged from an overseer's whippings, that were published worldwide in 1863, giving the abolitionist movement proof of the cruelty of American slavery.
