— -- A new teaser trailer for "Fences" was just released and it's beyond gripping and emotional.

Denzel Washington stars in this movie adaptation of the Broadway play, along with Viola Davis. The acclaimed duo are back as Troy and Rose, a couple struggling with life and race relations in the 1950s.

Washington and Davis go toe-to-toe in the clip, which shows Troy upset that his life hasn't turned out the way he would have liked, saying he's standing in the same spot, not progressing.

Davis fires back, "I've been standing with you. I give 18 years of my life to stand in the same spot as you!"

The film also examines the relationship between Troy and his son, and the lessons he teaches him.
