Will Smith in Emancipation. A Riverton veterinarian had his hand in the creation of the recently released Civil War movie Emancipation, starring Will Smith. Karl Luthin, an equine practitioner who has provided historically accurate horse-drawn wagons for movie and television productions throughout the United States, said Emancipation is his latest endeavor. Will Smith plays an enslaved person who became known as "Whipped Peter," whose badly scarred back was photographed and reproduced in Harper's magazine during the Civil War.
