Told by Sgt. Richard Etheridge, the son of an enslaved woman and her former master, 'Black Cloud Rising' is based on the true story of the African Brigade, an all-Black regiment led by General Edward Augustus Wild, a one-armed white abolitionist who terrorized the North Carolina countryside. Eager to prove his manhood and worth, but conflicted about his own notions of Blackness and whiteness, Richard must navigate a world of violence and moral uncertainty, never knowing whether the shot that could end his life will be fired by his own white cousin or his fellow soldier. #OwnVoices.
