New movie out....sounds like one to check out. I think it is showing now...not sure. Here is the scoop. Mark
Derek Luke plays Fisher, a young man who must overcome his troubled past, namely emotional and sexual abuse. Like his character, Luke has been abused. "I was molested, and I have my own personal fight," he admits publicly for the first time in an interview with CNN.com this week.
The film is based on the life of Fisher, who adapted the screenplay from his book "Finding Fish: A Memoir."
It focuses on how Fisher faces his tough childhood and overcomes his anger with the help of a naval psychiatrist, played in the film by Washington.
Fisher lived through years of foster care in a home where he was belittled and abused. As a young man in the Navy, he developed problems with anger. His temper quickly led him to the psychiatrist, who helped Fisher recall his painful past and start a process of healing.
Luke says his own personal process has only just begun. "I'm healing now," he says with tears welling up in his eyes, "I'm tapping into what I overcame by hearing other people's stories."
He's also quick to point out, "I try not to emphasize myself because I feel Antwone had a harder life."
