Join the deeply committed individuals who formed the Underground Railroad, risking everything in the name of freedom.
Experience what it was like to live at a time when one of every eight people in the United States was considered the legal property of someone else. And, meet some of the brave men and women who risked their lives to assist slaves whose desperation drove them to escape. From secret codes to false-bottom wagons, you'll see the many ways this clandestine network struggled to support the dream of freedom and to bring fugitives out of bondage to havens in the northern U.S., Canada and overseas.
Told through the narratives of escaped slaves and recollections of those descended from the Railroad's courageous 'passengers,' this insightful documentary reveals the myriad ways in which African-Americans and their white allies fought against slavery – and strove to make the dream of freedom real.
Features:
- Narratives of escaped slaves
- Stories from descendents
Fascinating viewing for every member of the family, and tangible proof that people working together can change the course of history.
