British actor Hero Fiennes Tiffin is set to star in the upcoming war drama "Freedom's Path".

Scott Mednick and Skyler Mednick will produce the project through their Mednick Productions, alongside A J Winslow and Jim Pidgeon.

The story follows a wounded Union soldier named Kitch who, when saved by a group of black soldiers, helps them run the Underground Railroad while he recovers from his injuries.

Fiennes Tiffin will play William, a naive Union soldier who is horrified when he enters the war. A deserter and a coward, he befriends Kitch and learns the error of his prejudice.
