Hosted by Alfre Woodard.
Tells the story of the struggle to break the bonds of slavery in the American South: a story of secret codes, hidden way-stations and clandenstine "conductors." A story not of a railway, but of a loosely organized network of runaway slaves, freed blacks and anti-slavery whites, all willing to risk their lives in the name of liberty. Presenting dramatic re-creations of escapes, this documentary also chronicles the achievements of abolitionist figures Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Tubman and William Lloyd Garrison.
