A new documentary that unveils theihistory, heroes, andivillains of theiAbolitionist movement.

It was America's first civil rights movement, a loose network of diverse people bound together by conscience, determined to undo the institution of slavery one person at a time. "Conductors" risked fines and imprisonment in their devotion to the cause of freedom, "passengers" risked their lives.

Hosted by Alfred Woodard (Passion Fish, Crooklyn), Underground Railroad traces the journey to freedom taken by countless slaves, showing how they were guided, protected, and pursued along the way. The extraordinary story is told through historical documents, visits to important sites, interviews with the descendants of noted abolitionists and commentary from experts like Ed Rigaud, the President of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.
