The effective trailer for Jordan Peele’s newest task, High Horse: The Black Cowboy, is formally here– 3 years after his 2022 movie, Nope
” If there were no Black cowboys, then America would not exist,” author Michael Harriot discusses early in the trailer for the three-part series, produced by Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
” The Black cowboy was deliberately eliminated from the story, so we can produce the misconception of the American white cowboy,” another individual states in the trailer, which was launched through YouTube on Thursday, November 6.
The trailer right away sets the tone for the docuseries– a deep-dive into both the history and erasure of Black cowboys in American culture. The trailer opens with a scene including 2 guys– each using stetson, headscarfs around their mouths and long black coats– as they square off versus one another on a dirty street. The scene then exposes among the guys is Black, while the other is white.
Peele’s documentary will premiere on Peacock on November 20, and includes interviews with Pam Grier, Tina Knowles, Lori Harvey, Bun B and more.
” I’m grateful to Monkeypaw for enhancing the effective voices and enduring culture of Black Cowboys and Cowgirls,” Peele stated in a declaration shared online. “Through High Horse: The Black Cowboy, on Peacock, their history is inseparable from the story of our nation. And this task intends to honor and commemorate their long lasting tradition.”

He continued: “So I set my sights on the terrific American UFO story. And the motion picture itself handles phenomenon, and the excellent and bad that originated from this concept of attention. It’s a scary legendary, however it has some points in it that are suggested to generate a really audible response in the theater.”
In truth, Peele was so concentrated on the audience while composing the motion picture that he even entitled the movie after the one word he most hoped participants would shout out while viewing. “So ideally, when we go see it, we’re going to hear a great deal of ‘nope!'” he included.
