With all that is going on in the world today, American Skin is the must-see film. Written and directed by Nate Parker, who also stars in the film, American Skin is the heart wrenching story of an Iraqi War Vet who desperately seeks justice after his only child is shot and killed by a white policeman. The film evokes a myriad of emotions, but invites conversation and dialogue which must be shared by people of various ethnicities and age groups. Right On! Digital’s Cynthia Horner sat down (virtually) with the insightful stars Nate Parker and Omari Hardwick who bring this tragic story to light. American Skin is available on BET+ as well as other platforms and select theaters. #AmericanSkin
