A wealth of photos, documents, and commentary by modern historians provides the broad lines of history, but it comes alive in the individual stories of conductors and passengers, among them abolitionist and historian William Still, called the "Father of the Underground Railroad," and Henry "Box" Brown, who mailed himself to freedom in a cargo crate. They (and many others) take their place beside Harriet Tubman ("the Moses of her people") and Frederick Douglass as courageous heroes in America's first integrated social movement.
The DVD also features the Biography episode on Frederick Douglass, the complete text of the Emancipation Proclamation, a biographical essay on Harriet Tubman, and other historical background pieces. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews of Underground Railroad (History Channel)
Could be better The underground railroad could have been portrayed better, not that this was bad, but there was some shoddy acting, aside from alfre woodard who I think is a solid actress, but a movie is not complete if the supporting actors aren't putting forth their best efforts.
