Steal Away, the Story
Based on Andrew Ward's post-Civil War musical epic "Dark Midnight When I Rise," Steal Away is the true story of the legendary Fisk Jubilee Singers, an HBCU warrior choir fighting the KKK's reign of terror against their schools, not with bullets or bombs but breathtaking songs of faith and freedom. Steal Away follows the choir's titanic rise from the darkness of slavery to the glittering ballrooms and throne rooms of England as they conquer the world, and must then conquer their own demons.
A breathtaking saga rivaling Gone With the Wind in scope and Bridgerton and Hamilton in diversity, Steal Away will feature a spectacularly diverse international cast, the strongest Black female lead ever onscreen, an epic soundtrack by five-time Grammy legend Billy Childs, and a timeless universal message of hope, redemption and race reconciliation that will inspire global audiences from Boston to Beijing.
