Listen Later

Native Son is a 2019 drama based off the 20th century American classic novel of the same name by Richard Wright. Starring Ashton Sanders (of Moonlight fame), Native Son follows a young black man named Bigger who lives in Chicago. Bigger is into the punk and alternative lifestyle but doesn't quite fit in with his friends. His mom's boyfriend gets him an interview to be a driver for a wealthy Chicago businessman named Henry Dalton (portrayed by Bill Camp). Bigger quickly gets to know Henry Dalton's daughter Mary Dalton (portrayed by Margaret Qualley), a woman that will eventually change his life. Caution: movie spoilers.
