Shadow Patriot is a gripping, six-part Civil War spy thriller currently in development at Epiphany Pictures in Los Angeles. It tells the remarkable true story of Abraham Galloway, a slave whose daring escape from bondage thrusts him into the covert world of espionage for the Union army, risking his life infiltrating enemy lines to enlist over 5,000 freed and former slaves to form the core of the Union Colored Troops out of New Bern, North Carolina.
Producer Ian McCrudden approached A|F|U to develop concept art, depicting key scenes and a vast cast of characters.
Shadow Patriot will put the audience right at the heart of Abraham Galloway’s internal and external war, traveling by ship, on foot, and by underground railroad from North Carolina up to the freedom of Canada, down to the revolutionary ideals of Haiti and back across the tumultuous expanse of a fledgling United States on the brink of Civil War, risking everything to fight for black civil rights, justice, and freedom. He will use charm, guile, manipulation, oratory, stealth, and violence as he battles the Ku Klux Klan, negotiates black civil rights with President Abraham Lincoln, and cements his legacy by being elected State Senator of North Carolina.
