This movie was recently added on Netflix and what a movie it is.
It takes place in 1856 where a slave named Samuel Woodward and his family are on a Virginia Plantation, they flee and receive help from the Underground Railroad.
It shows all the trials and tribulations they go through to find their Freedom.
Samuel finds he is conflicted to a sea captian who brought slaves to America 100 years earlier and were united by The song Amazing Grace which was sung a number of times in the movie.
It stars Cuba Gooding, Jr, Sharon Leal ,William Sadler and Phillip Boykin.
It is considered a drama. Have you seen this movie?

Something you'd enjoy watching? 
All I can say is, I am sorry, I did not express what I wanted to say correctly. If you notice, I removed it. I regret the pain it caused to you. I have spent a lot of time searching for you. Hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me.

@vandana7 No worries, Vandana. It wasn't so much that it upset me, but the shock of the negativity of it all, not just to me as a person of colour but also the African American people as well as Africa as a whole, diverse continent. But let's not rake over it again, because honestly, I appreciate your apology and I'm happy to start over.

Nope I haven't. I haven't been on netflix in weeks as there's never good movies on there lately. I see they have added new ones so I'll probably check this one out and all others this weekend.

Don't remember seeing this movie. But it sounds interesting. It is a shame how they treated the slaves in those days. And just the mere fact that there were even slaves makes america look barbaric. Well, maybe it is, but this is something that never should have taken place.

@Marcyaz Just try and imagine how the world would be if there was none of this craziness. Imagine a world that never had slavery. A world that had no hatred and was peaceful. Wait, I just started dreaming. I am in the real world not. Nice!!!

I've never seen it but it sounds like it would be a good movie. I've been pretty fascinated with the underground railroad ever since I went to camp in the 5th grade and they did an underground railroad where we were slaves, and they also held a slave auction. It was quite the experience, and ever since movies like that have fascinated me. I might be checking that out once I get some down time.

The underground railroad was such a great thing. I enjoy stories about those who helped in this organization.
