"Liberty, or death!" Focus Features has released a shorter 60-second new trailer for Harriet, telling the extraordinary true story of American icon Harriet Tubman. This premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last month to mixed reviews, and it's playing at the London Film Festival next. Tubman is responsible for helping free numerous slaves using the Underground Railroad in the 1800s, bringing them to the North to freedom. Based on the story of the iconic freedom fighter, starring Cynthia Erivo, telling of her escape from slavery and subsequent missions to free dozens of slaves in the face of growing pre-Civil War adversity. The cast includes Janelle Monáe, Joe Alwyn, Clarke Peters, Tim Guinee, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Leslie Odom Jr., Tory Kittles, Deborah Ayorinde, and Omar J. Dorsey. This certainly looks like a powerful film about an American hero. Despite the bad early reviews, I'm still hopeful. ›››
