Trailer for ‘Swan Song’ has two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali seeing double
Set in the near future, Swan Song is told through the eyes of Cameron (two time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali, reuniting with Moonlight co-star and Academy Award nominee Naomie Harris), a loving husband and father diagnosed with a terminal illness who is presented with an alternative solution by his doctor (8-time Academy Award nominee Glenn Close) to shield his family from grief. As Cam grapples with whether or not to alter his family’s fate, he learns more about life and love than he ever imagined.
Swan Song is written and directed by Academy Award winner Benjamin Cleary and also stars Awkwafina, Lee Shorten and Adam Beach.
Swan Song will have its world premiere at AFI FEST before its release in theaters and on Apple TV+ on December 17.
