Denzel Washington is directing his protégé, Michael B. Jordan in the romantic drama, “A Journal For Jordan.”
The film is based on First Sergeant Charles Monroe King, played by Jordan, and the letters he wrote to his newborn son while overseas.
King was killed in Iraq when his son was seven months old. His wife, Canedy, played by Chanté Adams, keeps all the letters in a book.
“A Journal For Jordan,” is written by Virgil Williams, who also wrote the Grammy-nominated 2017 movie, Mudbound.
Washington directs and produces “A Journal For Jordan” alongside Jordan.
