British actor Idris Elba is all set to bring the emotion-laden father-son drama “Concrete Cowboy,” to Netflix on April 2 as the streamer has dropped a new official trailer.
The 48-year-old actor, Idris Elba, plays a father who wants to reconnect with his estranged son.
In September, the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, where Idris Elba told an American media outlet during an interview that there are misconceptions around Black cowboys in history.
“It feels really apt to be able to tell a part history that’s been definitely buried, and in the case of ‘Concrete Cowboy,’ that history is right now,” the actor pointed out.
Here’s a synopsis: When fifteen year-old Cole (
McLaughlin) is expelled from school in Detroit, he is sent to North Philadelphia to live with Harp (
Elba), his estranged father. Harp finds solace in rehabilitating horses for inner city cowboys at the Fletcher Street Stables, a real-life black urban horsemanship community that has provided a safe haven for the neighborhood residents for more than 100 years.
Torn between his growing respect for his father’s community and his reemerging friendship with troubled cousin Smush (
Jerome), Cole begins to reprioritize his life as the stables themselves are threatened by encroaching gentrification.
