“Straw” follows the harrowing journey of a single mother who, after experiencing a series of misfortunes, finds herself caught in an unexpected and perilous situation.
The film’s description reveals that “she becomes entangled in a situation she never imagined and finds herself at the center of suspicion in a world that seems indifferent to her existence.”
The movie boasts a strong supporting cast, including Glynn Turman, Sinbad, Rockmond Dunbar, and Mike Merrill.
Perry will also serve as a producer, alongside Angi Bones and Tony Strickland.
This project is part of Perry’s multi-year, first-look deal with Netflix, which has already yielded several notable projects.
Upcoming releases under this deal include “The Six Triple Eight,” starring Kerry Washington, and the drama series “Beauty in Black.”
Taraji P. Henson is fresh off her role as Shug Avery in “The Color Purple”.
