Tread Lively has released the first trailer for The Blind, the biopic of a young Phil Robertson and his life before he became a star on the popular reality series Duck Dynasty. The Blind is scheduled for release in theaters on September 28.
As Phil Robertson (Dodger’s Aron Von Andrian) says in the trailer, this is one of those stories where “the impossible happened.” Set in the 1960s, Phil marries Miss Kay Robertson (The Haunting Of Bly Manor’s Amelia Eve) and starts a family. However, Phil’s addiction and complicated past threaten to destroy his future. The Blind is the true story of the Robertson family and how Phil rose from his tumultuous origins to create a dynasty.

“Long before Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson became a reality TV star, he fell in love with Miss Kay and started a family, but his demons threatened to tear their lives apart,” the official synopsis reads. “Set in the backwoods swamps of 1960s Louisiana, The Blind shares never-before-revealed moments in Phil’s life as he seeks to conquer the shame of his past, ultimately finding redemption in an unlikely place. This stunning cinematic journey chronicles the love story that launched a dynasty, the turmoil that nearly brought it crashing down, and the hope that rose from the ashes to create a foundation for generations to come.”
The Blind is directed by Andrew Hyatt (Paul, Apostle Of Christ) from a screenplay he co-wrote with Stephanie Katz (All In). Willie and Korie Robertson will produce alongside Zach Dashe of Tread Lively. GND Media Group’s Bob Katz and Troy Duhon will executive produce.
