Amazon MGM Studios has just dropped the official trailer for their upcoming drama, Nickel Boys, and it’s already making waves.
Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Colson Whitehead, this film promises to be an emotional powerhouse.
Set in the Jim Crow South, Nickel Boys follows the gripping story of two young African American men facing the harsh realities of life in a reform school in Florida.
The story begins with Elwood Curtis, whose bright future is derailed by a fateful mistake, landing him in the infamous Nickel Academy.
