This is a great movie that inspires and teaches. What was the underground railroad? Why did they call her Moses? Why did this small woman and former slave receive a presidential award for bravery and valor? This is a very powerful performance and a moving story. We watched this after we chose Harriet Tubmann as the subject of my kid's essay for herioc historical figures. We picked a figure that we did not know anything about and would learn about at every turn of the research. This is such a well done portrayal of someone who was truly a historic American superhero. And she was a former slave and a woman! That's puts her life on a bigger plane than someone like Daniel Boone or Geaorge Washington. The movie was a perfect follow-up to the research and readings me and the kids did.

This is actually my second review. This movie should be a part of every black persons film library. You'll experience the highs and low's as Cicely takes you on a journey to freedom. This movie was mandatory for my children to watch because it is important for them to see just how far we have come as a people- and just how much they take for granted.
BUY IT!

What I appreciate most about this movie is the good acting it made you get involved in the movie, making you remember the old days when your neighbors and your community was your family.
