Join our friends at Quibi for a special live Q&A with EMMY® nominated actors Laurence Fishburne, Stephan James and Jasmine Cephas Jones of the short form series #FREERAYSHAWN.

SYNOPSIS
On a remote street in the outskirts of New Orleans, a botched entrapment leaves a police officer dead and an innocent man named Rayshawn (Stephan James) on the run. Rayshawn escapes a breathless pursuit and barricades himself in his home with his girlfriend (Jasmine Cephas Jones) and young son (Danny Boyd, Jr.). Citing the senseless end of countless Black Lives, Rayshawn documents the ensuing standoff on social media, building a fleet of witnesses who share his desire for respect, accountability, and social justice. As the SWAT team encroaches and #FREERAYSHAWN trends, Rayshawn places his trust in Lt. Steven Poincy (Laurence Fishburne) to find the evidence that will exonerate him. Poincy works against time as both negotiator and lifeline, while perception and procedure block the path to the truth.

RSVP-ed members will receive a link to join the Q+A the morning of the event via email. This event is not being held by the SAG-AFTRA Foundation.
