Harriet Tubman Movie

I hope this is a nuanced, historically detailed movie, but I don't hold out hope, because Hollywood is always heavy handed and apt to "spice up" stories that are perfectly engaging.

Harriet Tubman is plenty interesting on her own, and doesn't need spin or embellishments to make her appealing to movie goers. This could be a film you show your history class so they can know more than her name and something about a "railroad" if it's done right. I'm sure a lot of kids coming out of school today think she was a train conductor.

Doubt we'll see much past her early life, so probably none of her involvement with the Civil War.
