Synopsis
Freedom is worth any risk, and true courage means going back for the people you left behind. Kasi Lemmons' "Harriet" stars Cynthia Erivo as Harriet Tubman, born Araminta "Minty" Ross, who escapes slavery in Maryland in 1849 and travels nearly 100 miles on foot to freedom in Philadelphia. Rather than stay safe, she returns again and again as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, leading dozens to freedom and later hundreds more during a daring Civil War raid. With Leslie Odom Jr. and Janelle Monáe co-starring, you'll see why Erivo earned an Oscar nomination.
