Watch Uzo Aduba’s outstanding performance in trailer for Miss Virginia

Nigerian-American actress Uzo Aduba is hitting the big screen in a big way, just after her role in the soon-to-be-rested Orange Is The New Black is ending its run.

The Emmy award-winner is the lead actress in an upcoming biopic, titled, Miss Virginia.

Based on a true story, Miss Virginia follows a  struggling inner-city mother Walden Ford (played by Uzo Aduba), who sacrifices everything to give her son (played by Niles Fitch) a good education. Unwilling to allow her son to stay in a dangerous school, she launches a movement that could save his future – and that of thousands like him.

RJ Daniel Hanna directed the film from an Erin O’Connor’s script. The producers are O’Connor, Rob Pfaltzgraff, and Maurice Black of Moving Picture Institute and Stacey Parks of Media Sparks Films.

The real Miss Virginia is as formidable as she is warm and down-to-earth,” says O’Connor to Variety back in November 2017 when Uzo Aduba was cast as Walden Ford. “No one captures that spirit like Uzo. Her bravery, grit, and humour shine through in all her performances. We’re ecstatic that she will be bringing her infectious energy to ‘Miss Virginia.’”

In the trailer, we follow Aduba’s journey, from when her son was suspended to her fight for educational reform.

My son can’t wait,” Virginia objects in the trailer. “He needs change today — not tomorrow, not next week and definitely not ‘eventually.’ We’ve been waiting. I’m done.”

Miss Virginia also stars Matthew Modine, Vanessa Williams, Adina Porter, Aunjanue Ellis and others.

The film will have a limited cinema release on 18 October and will also be available for streaming.
