Redeeming Uncle Tom: The Josiah Henson Story:

Josiah Henson, a dynamic man with unyielding principles, overcame incredible odds to escape from slavery with his wife and children and rose to international prominence as a leader and abolitionist. His life inspired the lead character of ‘Uncle Tom’ in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 classic novel which has been recognised as one of the sparks that ignited the Civil War. In this ground-breaking new documentary, re-trace Josiah's 3000-mile journey from slavery to freedom. Critically acclaimed actor Danny Glover narrates the voice of Josiah Henson in the documentary film.

The Murder of Emmett Till

In August 1955, a 14-year-old black boy from Chicago whistled at a white woman in a grocery store in Money, Mississippi. Emmett Till didn't understand that he had broken the unwritten laws of the Jim Crow South. Three days later, two white men dragged him from his bed in the dead of night, beat him brutally and shot him. Although his killers were arrested and charged with murder, they were both quickly acquitted by an all-white, all-male jury. Soon after, the defendants sold their story, including a detailed account of how they murdered Till, to a journalist. The murder and the trial horrified the nation and the world. Till's death was a spark that helped mobilize the civil rights movement. Three months after his body was pulled from the Tallahatchie River, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began.
