Freedom Notations et commentaires
- Julius Krieger12 février 2026A really good movie following a family of slaves being taken across the Underground Railroad, their ancestors, and some prominent historical figures that played a role in both the beginnings of slavery and the abolitionist movement. Definitely worth watching.
