Netflix has released the trailer for its upcoming drama All Day and a Night. Written and directed by Joe Robert Cole, a co-writer of Marvel’s Black Panther, the film stars Jeffrey Wright (Westworld) and Ashton Sanders (Moonlight).
The film sees Sanders as a young man who gets sent to prison and reconnects with his incarcerated father, played by Wright, and works on a journey of self-discovery to help his son break their family’s cycle.
As soft-spoken Jahkor Abraham Lincoln struggles to keep his dream of rapping alive amidst a gang war in Oakland, his ill-fated life and real-world responsibilities drive him further and further across the line of right and wrong with tragic consequences. Landing in prison beside his father, J.D. whom he never wanted to be like, Jahkor embarks on an unlikely journey of self-discovery, exploring the events that unite them, in hopes of helping his newborn son break a cycle that feels unavoidable.
All Day and a Night also stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Watchmen), Regina Taylor (I’ll Fly Away), Kelly Jenrette (Manhunt), Isaiah John (Snowfall), Shakira Ja-nai Paye (We’re Not Friends) and Christopher Meyer (The Affair). It will premiere on Netflix on May 1st.
