Frederick Douglass: No Turning Back named finalist For ICVM 51st Crown Awards in Nashville
The award-winning film, Frederick Douglass, No Turning Back, produced and directed by Charleston based Actors’ Theatre of South Carolina has been chosen as a finalist in the 51st Crown Awards competition at the International Christian Media Convention. The film is now in worldwide distribution through Bridgestone Multimedia Group,
Author and orator Frederick Douglass, was an eminent human rights leader in the anti-slavery movement and the first African-American citizen to hold a high U.S. government rank and this film thoughtfully expresses the true character of this historic leader and pioneer with powerful authenticity.
The film, starring Kyle Taylor, explores the success of Frederick Douglass’ national tour in 1872, as he thrilled and inspired audiences across America sharing his journey from slavery to national leader. He also shares his quest to abolish all types of slavery in the world and promote lasting freedom in America. His wisdom and brilliant wit are very timely today.
The film was created by adapter, director and producer, Chris Weatherhead, from all three autobiographies of Mr. Douglass, and features nationally known actor, Clarence Felder, as Pastor Brewster, leader of an integrated church who has brought Mr. Douglass to speak. By this time, the nation had completed the civil war, and passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments of the US Constitution. Mr. Taylor and Ms. Weatherhead are available for interviews about the journey of this film and its relevance regarding the traffic of humans in our world today. Trailer:
