Netflix has debuted a new trailer for the feature ‘Shirley’ which features Regina King as the first Black congresswoman Shirley Chisholm.
The movie tells the story of Chisholm, and her trailblazing run for president of the U.S. It chronicles her audacious, boundary-breaking 1972 presidential campaign. Her campaign saw major youth engagement as she tried to gain enough delegates to speak at that year’s Democratic National Convention.
She faces setbacks along the way, and partners up with the Black Panthers at one point, all as she continues to pursue her goal despite the many obstacles in her way.
The late Lance Reddick stars alongside Lucas Hedges, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Christina Jackson, Dorian Crossmond Missick, Amirah Vann, André Holland, and Terrence Howard.

The movie hits the streamer on March 22nd.
