For such a time as this, we need to be reminded of the beauty of seeking freedom: the heart of Harriet Tubman. Some professional film reviewers gravitate to slamming dramatic moments of a real-life individual as over-the-top filmmakers’ manipulation. I read books and watch movies for different reasons. My grandmother saved for months to watch a film during the depression. Sorry, filmmakers, she did not come to be schooled by you. She watched the few movies she could afford to walk in another person’s path and delight in the way they overcame. Me too.
