Harriet
horizontal line

Phenomenal, Oscar-caliber performances dominate this riveting, moving, factually based, powerful, inspirational, intense, star-studded (Janelle MonĂ¡e, Tim Guinee, Leslie Odom Jr., Vondie Curtis-Hall, and Omar J. Dorsey), 125-minute biographical film with stunning cinematography and terrific costumes that follows the extraordinary heroic life of iconic, tenacious, courageous, brave, seizure-prone abolitionist American freedom fighter Harriet Tubman (Cynthia Erivo) who ended up leaving her freeman husband (Zackary Monoh) and family (Vanessa Bell Calloway, Clarke Peters, Deborah Ayorinde, Joseph Lee Anderson, Antonio J. Bell, et al.) when she escaped her plantation slave masters (Joe Alwyn and Jennifer Nettles) in Bucktown, Maryland, in the mid-1800s and traveled on foot more than 100 miles to Philadelphia to reach freedom where she eventually became a "conductor" in the Underground Railroad rescuing hundreds of slaves, including 750 one night, and a spy for the Union Army during the Civil War.
