A poster from Adamstown shows three film stills stacked vertically. The top film still shows the side profile of a Black woman staring at something off screen. She is wearing a green scarf tied in a knot on her head and gold earrings against a blurred out background. The middle film still shows a figure dressed in all black running through a dimly lit room. On both sides of the figure are metal gates lining the wall. The bottom film still shows the silhouette of a person walking from the darkness into a window-lit room. To the right of the silhouette is a door with closed shades on the glass.
