Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for film Green Book, which will debut in theaters on November 21. The film was directed by Peter Farrelly, who will also produce with Participant Media, DreamWorks Pictures, Charles B. Wessler, Nick Vallelonga and Brian Currie. Jeff Skoll, Jonathan King, John Sloss, Steve Farneth and Kwame Parker are the executive producers. It stars Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali and Linda Cardellini.

Here’s a synopsis: Green Book tells the story of Tony Lip (Mortensen), an Italian-American bouncer with a seventh-grade education, who’s hired to drive Dr. Don Shirley (Ali), a world-class African-American pianist on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South. Together, they must rely on the “Negro Motorist Green Book” to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for Blacks. Confronted with racism, danger—as well as unexpected humanity and humor—they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime.
