Augustus, a literate escaped slave masquerading as a free man in Massachusetts in 1841, experiences nightmares of his son's death and a future that resembles the struggles of his own time. Shaken to his core, Augustus realizes the horrors of slavery and racial inequalities will continue if he remains complicit. He's left with one choice; speak up or lose his freedom.

Jon Alston&#39;s short film, AUGUSTUS, is simply a masterpiece. Featuring incredible performances from the lead cast as well as tremendous writing from Ayinde Howell, this short film packs a ferocious punch in a short amount of time. Highly stylized and sharply cinematic to its core, AUGUSTUS presents the story of an escaped slave in 1841 who experiences visions of a contemporary future in which his ancestors are still burdened by injustices of systemic racism - thus compelling him to stand up and speak out. Powerful on all fronts, Jon Alston&#39;s film AUGUSTUS is a ABSOLUTE MUST WATCH for all.
