A 21 Savage film is on the way with Donald Glover and Caleb McLaughlin (Stranger Things).

The film is “a memoir of his incarceration by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) beginning in 2019. As part of then-president Trump’s crackdown on undocumented citizens, Savage — who was raised in Atlanta but was born in the U.K. — was arrested by ICE in 2019, held for several weeks and threatened with deportation, but the “Free 21 Savage” campaign ultimately led to his release and ability to remain in the country.”

Donald Glover, Stephen Glover, Jamal Olori and Fam Udeorji direct the trailer for “American Dream,” which teases brand new music by Savage. Glover and McLaughlin play Savage in two different generations.

The trailer also stars Natasha Lyonne (Poker Face), Victoria Pedretti (Haunting of Hill House) and Young Mazino (Beef) as Savage’s lawyers, Chad Lindberg, Gail Bean and internet comedian Druski. The film was produced by Tara Razavi and Udeorji. The trailer ends with a screen saying the film will release in theaters on “Independence Day,” along with a Lionsgate logo.
