Underappreciated, and wildly missed by many, The Good Lord Bird is a cinematic mini series masterpiece, that is made richer by Ethan Hawks portrayal of John Brown is amazingly funny, tragic, pious, sad, noble, and human at the same time. The rest of the cast is just as fantastic, Google it. But, this will be appreciated in the future. Cult worthy. I think slavery is a hard sell in people's entertainment. Unfortunate, because they miss out on a hell of a ride.
