Harriet (2019)

I knew of her because we studied the Canadian role in the Underground Railroad in Canadian history in university and she did live in St. Catherines, ON for awhile. Also, we have to study American history in 6th grade here, so I remember learning about her work a bit when I was a little girl. I’m stunned they rejected having her on one of the American dollar denominations. We put our Canadian civil rights activist Viola Desmond on our $10 Bill. I didn’t know all the biographical details that they played out in the film, but a lot of it was familiar. The copy was ok, but I’m on an iPad with Retina display and great EarPods, so I find the cam copies as of late to be not too bad if I don’t want to wait. Bios and historical films are my favourite kind of movie, so I personally couldn’t wait to see it. I hope you will enjoy it!

yeah well other films i wanted to watch aint workin so i might give it a go
..
I first saw her in a Flashman book, which are historical comedies about a scoundrelly cowardly selfish prick .. its the school bully from Tom Browns Schooldays grown up .. he somehow manages to make enemies of every great man of the 1800s and have sex with every interesting woman (but not this one) :)

In the american story, gloriously evil Flashy manages to be both a slave traffiker and slave escapee helper .. all because hes a lying cowardly brute as usual :)
What else do you expect of a man who fought on BOTH SIDES of the american civil war lol
Later in the same story he survives the battle of little bighorn .. he was one of the indians! lol
