Movie Reviews of Race to Freedom: The Story of the Underground Railroad
Movie Review: An Intimate Portrayal of the Underground Railroad
Summary: 5 Stars
I bumped into this movie several years ago as I was trying to find some type of Social Studies related video to show my 4th grade students. I previewed the movie, which is not rated, which at first made me a little nervous, but I was not disappointed with the actors or the development of the storyline. I most appreciated that in this movie it takes you through every aspect of the emotional yet life changing feelings of four runaway slaves fight for freedom. It is the most captivating portrayal of slavery in this country and of the "Underground Railroad" for me since seeing "Roots" when I was a child. I promised my students that we would watch this life-changing movie, and that is what I plan to do before the last day of school this year. It won't disappoint I promise and it is a great conversational starter. I would recommend this video for parents and 4th or 5th grade teachers. What a powerful way to end the school year or introduce such an emotionally sensitive topic that's apart of our American history!
