 Race to Freedom: The Underground Railroad October 30, 2003

I just watched this movie for a study in my history class, and was completely captivated. I thought it was going to be a boring
school movie, but was amazed to find otherwise. After the film ended, I was heartbroken because I wanted to watch it again. Fortunately, I know that it is available on video so I might purchase it in the near future. RACE TO FREEDOM is a superbly acted, well dramatized historical film that displays the horror
of slavery with great intelligence. This film is well scripted
and well laid out. The ending, though being very fairy-taleish
is extremely happy and when it ended, our class clapped. Hehe, and when Solomon shot the bounty hunter (from 'Cowboys Don't Cry'), our class cheered. An excellent film.
Excellent and spell-binding movie. September 20, 2001

This video is an excellent addition to anyone's library. It follows the journeys of four runaway slaves to the promised land in Canada. The filming is beautiful and the story heartrending and powerful. Shows the difference that human beings can make by helping one another against the odds. I would definitely recommend this movie.
Excellent movie! January 17, 2004

When I was in 5th grade, I seen this movie. When I heard the title I was determined to see it. If you like learning about history and really want to know about The Underground Railroad, I definitly suggest you see it. I loved this movie so much that I'm even looking foward to buying the DVD! Even If you hate history, i still recommend it:D

This was a wonderful historically accurate representation of slavery and the operation of the Underground Railroad! I watched this with my 11 year old son. It kept us on the edge of our seats. My son said, "Mama, I did not know that slaves were treated this badly."
