REDEMPTION: THE STAN “TOOKIE” WILLIAMS STORY

REDEMPTION: THE STAN “TOOKIE” WILLIAMS STORY
Starring Jamie Foxx and Lynn Whifield
Premieres on FX on Sunday, April 11th at 8:00 p.m. et/pt

Redemption, an FX Original Movie, is based on the true story of Stan
“Tookie” Williams, co-founder of the infamous Crips street gang in Los
Angeles. The film depicts how his time in jail inspired him to help
inner-city youth by writing children’s books, which in turn earned him
three Nobel Prize nominations.

Jamie Foxx stars as Williams, with Lynn Whitfield co-starring as
Barbara Becnel, the woman who befriended Williams and helped him secure
a book deal to spread his word of peace. Rounding out the cast is CCH
Pounder as Winnie Mandela, Brenden Jefferson as the young Stan Williams
and Lee Thompson Young as Charles Becnel.

Redemption follows the transformation of Williams, from troubled youth
to convicted murderer to Nobel Prize nominee. When we first see
Williams, he is already on San Quentin’s death row, preaching peace to
children who have come to visit him. The jarring images set the rhythm
for the juxtaposition between the past and present as Williams comes to
terms with his violent past and extraordinary present.
