Alice (Keke Palmer) yearns for freedom as an enslaved person on a rural Georgia plantation. After a violent clash with its brutal and disturbed owner, Paul (Jonny Lee Miller), she flees through the neighboring woods and stumbles onto the unfamiliar sight of a highway, soon discovering the year is actually 1973. Rescued on the roadside by a disillusioned political activist named Frank (Common), Alice quickly comprehends the lies that have kept her in bondage and the promise of Black liberation.
Inspired by true events, “Alice” is a modern empowerment story tracing Alice’s journey through the post-Civil Rights Era American South.
Starring Keke Palmer, Common, Jonny Lee Miller, Gaius Charles, Alicia Witt, and Natasha Yvette Williams.
Written and Directed by Krystin Ver Linden.
