This week, BET+ released the official trailer for the original film YOUNG. WILD. FREE., starring Algee Smith, Sanaa Lathan, Mike Epps, and Sierra Capri.
This coming-of-age film follows a hot-tempered high school senior as he finds his life thrusted into an enticing, dangerous direction after he’s robbed at gunpoint by the girl of his dreams. Brandon—played by Smith—is a struggling teen who’s charged with caring for his two younger siblings, when Cassidy enters his life. Lured in by her whimsy, Brandon seamlessly slips into the role of Clyde to her Bonnie as they make their way down an increasingly perilous path.
