Before heading into the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles, Will, 54, spoke with PEOPLE exclusively on the red carpet about the eye-opening film and his return to the big screen.
“I just felt like I was seeing a lot of the same patterns where we’re starting to creep up in the American media and social media. I wanted to be a part of creating something that could be helpful,” he shared ofEmancipation.
Noting that there’s a “harsh reality” embedded in the movie, Will added that he hopes its message “creates empathy and compassion that will help us to avoid some of the same paths that we went down as a country in the past.”
