Ahead of its digital release next month, Elevation Pictures has revealed a new trailer and a poster for the upcoming drama American Woman. Written and directed by Semi Chellas, the film is loosely based on the 1974 kidnapping of heiress Patty Hearst and features a cast that includes Hong Chau, Sarah Gadon, John Gallagher Jr., Lola Kirke, David Cubitt, and Ellen Burstyn; take a look here…

Inspired by the headline-dominating kidnapping of heiress Patty Hearst in 1974, this atmospheric drama is a fictionalized re-imagining of her time in hiding, from the perspective of Jenny, a political activist assigned to take care of her.
