Winner of the Gullah International Film Festival, Redeeming Uncle Tom is a ground-breaking PBS documentary that restores a hero of the abolitionist movement to his rightful place in history.

Josiah Henson, a dynamic man with unyielding principles, overcame incredible odds to escape from slavery with his wife and children. His life inspired the lead character of ‘Uncle Tom’ in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 classic novel which has been recognized as one of the sparks that ignited the Civil War. Critically acclaimed actor Danny Glover narrates the voice of Josiah Henson.
