Watch Trailer to 'Night Catches Us' With Kerry Washington, Anthony Mackie

Comments (5)


After playing in numerous festivals, Magnolia Pictures finally released an official trailer to 'Night Catches Us,' which will be shown in theaters on Dec.3.

The film premieres on iTunes, On Demand, Playstation, Xbox Live, Amazon and Vudu on October 29.

Directed by Tanya Hamilton, the film stars Kerry Washington, Anthony Mackie, Jamie Hector, Wendell Pierce, and Novella Nelson.

The film exposes the realities of African American life during the final days of the Black Power Movement, as potluck suppers, run-ins with the authorities and lingering radicalism threaten to set off a neighborhood teetering on the edge.


Set in Philadelphia in 1976, 'Night' focuses on two former Black Panthers (played by Mackie and Washington) who reunite during the summer before Jimmy Carter's presidential election. As friends forced to confront personal and political demons, the two actors give spectacular performances, while Hamilton's use of an intense soundtrack (by The Roots) and moving archival footage bring to life the history of black resistance.
