A magnificent tour de force chronicling a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South.
Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. When Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they decide to take a terrifying risk and escape. Though they manage to find a station and head north, they are being hunted. Their first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But the city's placid surface masks an insidious scheme designed for its black denizens. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher, is close on their heels.
Content warning Imposible no contar....
En la película, el papel del cazarecompensas lo debe hacer Bruce Willis. Que tipo para sobrevivir a todo. Lupita puede hacer el papel de Cora. Los giros de la trama están muy bien escritos, casi que olvidó que todos mueren. A diestra y siniestra. Yo hubiera hecho el túnel un poco mágico. Es la única forma para que pudiese existir.
Truly unbelievable, one of the best I’ve ever read. Following in Toni Morrison’s footsteps as one of the best texts written about American slavery. So full of history and knowledge amongst incredible characters and sensitivity.
