Freedom (2014)

In the heart of the 19th century, a desperate quest for freedom unfolds. Samuel Woodward, a slave confined to the Monroe Plantation near Richmond, Virginia, makes a daring escape with his family in 1856. Guided by the clandestine network known as the Underground Railroad, they chart a perilous path towards the sanctuary of Canada. Their journey is tainted by the relentless pursuit of the infamous slave hunter Plimpton, a man whose presence amplifies the echoes of their painful past. Samuel grapples with a choice between vengeance and liberty, haunted by the agony endured by him and his ancestors. A century earlier, in 1748, the narrative intertwines with the story of Samuel's great grandfather. Aboard the slave trader ship helmed by Captain John Newton, he is part of a human cargo sailing from Africa towards the uncertain shores of America. This voyage, laden with despair, however, catalyzes an unexpected transformation in Newton. The captain's life is irrevocably altered, spawning a legacy that resonates through time, destined to inspire Samuel and countless others in the generations to come. "Freedom" is a tale of two men, bound by the chains of time and their shared quest for liberation. This saga, separated by a hundred years, explores the profound human capacity for hope, resilience, and redemption amidst the darkest corners of history.
