Did you know
- TriviaCaptain James Ingraham and Louis Snear were the last two remaining "officers of color" in the 1st Regiment Louisiana Native Guards (73rd USCT) until Captain Ingraham resigned on March 22, 1864, leaving Captain Louis Snear to be the sole officer of color on the battlefield at the assault of Fort Blakeley on April 9, 1865.
- GoofsThe 1st Louisiana Native Guard's May 27, 1863, assault on Port Hudson did not succeed as portrayed in the film. The soldiers did not even make it into the Confederate trenches to engage enemy soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. Instead the regiment retreated after Andre Cailloux's death. Port Hudson did not surrender the morning after the assault as shown in the film. Instead the siege lasted until July 9, 1863.

Featured review
Good...
"Emancipation" is an Action - Thriller movie in which we follow a slave trying to return to his family after escaping from a plantation where the owners almost killed him. He has to overcome many obstacles on his way back but he is determined to do anything.
I liked this movie because it has a nice, interesting plot that combined very well action with suspense. It reminded me a bit of "12 Years a Slave" of 2013 but I have to admit that "Emancipation" is not that good. The interpretation of Will Smith who played as Peter was very good and he made the difference along with Ben Foster who played as Jim Fassel. To sum up, I have to say that "Emancipation" is a nice movie and I recommend you to watch it.
