Becoming Frederick Douglass
Acclaimed director Stanley Nelson and co-director Nicole London bring an American hero to life in Becoming Frederick Douglass. The novel uses Douglass's own dramatic, profound speeches and writing to recreate his rise from a slave-born youth to a position as an influential elder statesman and an inspirational voice for freedom in the United States. The filmmakers recount the brutality and trauma of Douglass's childhood, illuminating his strength of character, defiance against the bonds of slavery, and the influences that guided his lifelong quest for freedom with additional context and insight provided by historians, scholars, and Douglass's descendants. Douglass's legacy and accomplishments, which made him the most famous Black man of his day, are being felt today. To this day, his legacy continues to motivate students, teachers, and advocates for a more free and equitable America.
