I saw a review of #Emancipationmovie that criticized it as a "superhero" film. I suppose this reviewer hadn't read many slave narratives:
1) Harriet Jacob's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.
Jacobs hid in an attic w/ 3 ft ceiling FOR 7 YRS before escaping slavery. 1/6

2) Henry "Box" Brown hid in a coffin size box THAT WAS MAILED TO THE NORTH. Can you imagine how long he had to lie in his own urine & feces to be free? #Emancipationmovie 2/6
3) Ellen & William Craft posed as a White southern gentleman--Ellen was the gentleman--& his enslaved Black servant & traveled FROM GEORGIA TO THE NORTH in disguise. #Emancipationmovie 3/6
