Many of the stories about the organized network used to help runaway slaves reach freedom are chronicled in this 100-minute video, through dramatic re-creations of escapes and acts of heroism. This moving account details the achievements of legendary abolitionist figures, including Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Harriet Tubman.
