Described as a modern-day version of Dog Day Afternoon, #Freerayshawn tells the story of a young, black Iraq War veteran named Rayshawn (James) who is set up by New Orleans police on a drug deal, runs for his life, and takes refuge inside his apartment building with his girlfriend and child. With New Orleans PD and the SWAT team outside ready to storm his home, a social media frenzy begins as community members and news outlets arrive at the scene. During this growing mayhem, a sympathetic cop named Steven Poincy (Fishburne) plays the role of negotiator, and, over the course of one brutally stressful day, Steven tries to get Rayshawn to calmly surrender in order to avoid an escalation of unnecessary violence.<\/p>\n

T<\/b>he project is directed by Seith Mann<\/strong> from a script by Mark Maurino<\/strong>. Fuqua, Mann, David Boorstein, Kat Samick, and Justin Bursch executive produce.<\/p>\n
