The Underground Railroad
Created by Barry Jenkins
On Prime Video
A haunting, visually stunning reimagining of slavery and resistance that literalizes the Underground Railroad as speculative history, grounding cosmic strangeness in intimate human trauma.
Follow young Cora’s journey as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. After escaping her Georgia plantation for the rumored Underground Railroad, Cora discovers no mere metaphor, but an actual railroad full of engineers and conductors, and a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil.
