And so when Caesar, a slave who has recently arrived from Virginia, urges her to join him on the Underground Railroad, she seizes the opportunity and escapes with him. An outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is on the cusp of womanhood-where greater pain awaits. The basis for the acclaimed original Amazon Prime Video series directed by Barry Jenkins.Ĭora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia."An American masterpiece" (NPR) that chronicles a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South.
