About SURROUNDED:
According to reports, Letitia Wright and Michael K. Williams star in the upcoming feature film Surrounded. The movie’s plot takes place five years after the Civil War, where former Buffalo Soldier Moses “Mo” Washington travels west to lay take over on a gold mine bequeathed by her late slaveowner father. It is a scary, dangerous world for an unaccompanied Black woman and so Mo travels into the deep frontier disguised as a man. After her stagecoach is ambushed, she is tasked with holding a dangerous outlaw captive and must survive the day when the bandit’s gang tries to free him.
“I couldn’t be more excited that Surrounded is the first film under my partnership with Aaron L. Gilbert’s Bron and the Blackhand Media banner,” said Mandler. “I’ve always loved the Western genre and the opportunity to tell this story from the eyes of a Black female during the Wild West is an honor.”
