We were big fans of Brett Smith’s Civil War drama Freedom’s Path when it opened last month, giving high praise to stars Gerran Howell and RJ Cyler. And now Punch Drunk Critics is pleased to present an exclusive clip from the film ahead of its VOD/digital release on October 6th!
The film centers on William, a Union Soldier (Howell) fleeing battle who is rescued by Kitch (Cyler) a free Black man who along with his friends runs a portion of the Underground Railroad. As the two make their escape, a ruthless slave catcher learns of the secret network and is on their trail.
In this scene, we see the violent lengths that Kitch will go to prevent their capture.
Also in the cast are Ewen Bremner (Trainspotting), Harrison Gilbertson (Oppenheimer), Afemo Omilami (Forrest Gump), the late Thomas Jefferson Byrd (Set It Off), Steven Swadling (Kickboxer), and Mia Tucker.
