About American Wisper
Wisper, a successful bar owner, comes home to find his wife and children murdered. As the only black man in a white neighborhood, the police consider him a prime suspect, and Wisper is forced to try to solve the crime on his own.
Directed by Russ Emanuel, American Wisper leans on a strong ensemble — Christian Barber, Naaji Sky Adzimah, Lanisha Javon Gholston — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2020.
