Omar Epps (Juice, “House”) stars as Chicago gang leader Malik, with multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY®- and Golden Globe-nominated recording artist Wiz Khalifa (Spinning Gold, Furious 7 soundtrack) as 2wo-3ree, the confident and volatile head of Malik’s young crew, locked in a power struggle for control against rival gang leader Straw, played by multi-platinum and GRAMMY®-nominated recording artist Quavo (“Atlanta,” “Black-ish”). The role of St. Moses the Black is portrayed by Chukwudi Iwuji (“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, “Peacemaker”), with direction by Yelena Popovic (Man of God).   The film draws inspiration from the real Saint Moses the Black, remembered as one of the early African saints of Christianity and a key figure among the Desert Fathers — a man who turned from violence to radical mercy.   A gripping fusion of suspense, moral courage and modern relevance, “Moses the Black” is driven by a hypnotic original soundtrack executive-produced by Wiz Khalifa featuring Quavo and other collaborators.
