American Son

“There's been an incident.”

It's the dead hours of the night in a Florida police station, and nobody behind the desk will tell Kendra Ellis-Connor (Kerry Washington) where her teenage son is. Her estranged husband Scott (Steven Pasquale) arrives, and Kenny Leon keeps them waiting with Officer Larkin (Jeremy Jordan). Each answer they get, and each one they don't, comes back to the same fear: that a Black teenager can vanish in America and the world will treat it as routine.
