Ascension Day background

Ascension Day

The film tells the story of Nat Turner, a slave who leads a brutal uprising against his oppressors in 1831 Virginia.

The film is inspired by the constitutional clause that deemed enslaved African Americans as three-fifths of a person for congressional representation purposes. The story revolves around Nat Turner, who orchestrated the most successful slave uprising in history, but ultimately met a tragic end, along with many other enslaved individuals, at the hands of a brutal lynching.
