The Turn : a bond that shaped history

"Forgotten people and forgotten voices were everywhere." A Promised Land by Barack Obama.

BASED ON TRUE EVENTS - A forgotten voice rises from the dustbins of history, adding fresh perspectives on President Lincoln's struggle with racial justice.

After escaping bondage, twenty-five-year-old William Henry Johnson goes to the nation's capital as Abraham Lincoln's valet, hoping the new president will help him reunite his family. But when Lincoln chooses to sacrifice racial justice to gain an expedient peace, Johnson must turn him from long-held prejudices and convince him to embrace equality or the war against slavery will be lost. Changing Lincoln's heart and mind comes at a severe price.
