Director Don McBrearty
Standard Screen; Soundtrack English

Tim Reid and Glynn Turman star as two of a group of four black slaves who decide to escape the plantation where they work and start out on a dangerous journey for Canada. Fortunately, the four discover the "Underground Railroad," the famous network of whites and free blacks who shelter, feed, and help fleeing slaves evade authority. Set just before the Civil War, RACE TO FREEDOM is a thoughtful and moving family drama that offers a compelling picture of what an earlier, divided America was like and what many had to do to survive.

Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars) 3.5 stars

5 stars Excellent Acting and informative history
I loved this movie because it gives you a wonderful insight into what slavery was all about and the terrible ways that some of the slaves were treated. It also showed the bravery of some of the slaves and how they were helped. Well worth your time and money to watch.

Claudine (Diahann Carroll) is a single mother raising six children in the projects of Harlem. What little money she earns comes directly from a rich family for whom she keeps house. Struggling to make ends meet, she resorts to welfare. Claudine works to keep her dignity in the face of the humiliating hoops the welfare system--a system created precisely for women like her--forces her to jump through. She finds grace and romance in a pleasant garbage collector (James Earl Jones). Falling in love, the two work together to fight societal hypocrisy and to keep Claudine's family unit afloat. Released in 1974 during blaxploitation's ...

Director Ichiro Itano presents a hellish vision of the afterlife in the brutal horror anime series GANTZ. High school student Kei and his childhood friend Kato are helping a hobo who has fallen onto the subway tracks when they are run over and violently decapitated by an oncoming train in a spectacularly grisly fashion. Transported to a strange post-death limbo, the pair find themselves in a barren room overlooking Tokyo with a motley group of strangers--including two hotheaded gangsters and a naked young girl, whom they immediately try to rape--as well as a mysterious black sphere known as Gantz. Kei and Kato soon discover that they and the room's occupants are all dead and have been brought there by Gantz as part of a secret government plot to kill criminal aliens that roam the earth--and that if they refuse their deadly missions, they face a fate even worse than death. Moody, stylish, and animated with veritable buckets of crimson blood, GANTZ plays like a twisted hybrid of YU YU HAKUSHO and LA FEMME NIKITA, with graphic violence and nudity deemed too graphic to be aired on Japanese ...
