Upcoming movie 'Cracka' imagines a world in which whites are enslaved and black people rule over America

An upcoming movie titled 'Cracka' plans to depict an alternate history in which black people enslaved whites in early America.

Director Dale Resteghini released the trailer for the independently funded film on Friday, saying it would be available for purchase on Amazon Prime and elsewhere later this year.

The trailer shows a white man with neo-Nazi tattoos being transported back in time to a version of America in which he is enslaved by black people.

Title cards read: 'You took our breath away, what if we took yours? You raped our daughters, what if we raped yours? You stole our freedom, now we steal yours.'

The white neo-Nazi 'protagonist' is seen being subjected to brutal treatment at the hands of black slaveholders.

White people are seen being raped and lynched by their black overlords in the film. 

The lead role of white supremacist Michael Stone is played by Lorenzo Antonucci, who previously depicted an unnamed henchman in Days Of Our Lives and was an uncredited extra in Game of Thrones. 

Other cast members include Hakeen Kae-Kazim (Hotel Rwanda), rapper Saigon, Kathryn Kates and James Darnell. 

'The world isnt ready for this one !!!!' wrote Saigon in an Instagram post about the upcoming film.

'What if it were your ancestors?' he wrote. 'I could never be racist because I treat people how I want to be treated... When U see things through the eyes of other people, sometimes the message resonates.'

It's unclear who financed the film, but IMDB lists as executive producers Antonucci, Resteghini and his wife Kim, Anthony Martini, and Rob Garcia.

Many comments on the film wondered why it depicted a fantasy of white slaves in America, rather than a historical depiction of the Barbary slave trade.

From 1500 to 1800, historians estimate that as many as 1.25 million Europeans were kidnapped and enslaved by slave traders in North Africa. 

Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes was among the most famous of the slaves captured by Barbary pirates, and was held captive for five years.

A statue of Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote, was vandalized by protesters overnight Saturday in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
