5/5
great for students
by troy (farmingdale, maine)
If it is just for adults, I would probably rate it a 3.5 but if you're a teacher, it is worth your while.
Teach 8th grade. Easy to understand. Horrific enough in the early part of the movie without needing to rate it R. Little known but the students thoroughly enjoy it and it's better than a documentary. Low budget but goood acting.
3/5
Good Introduction to the Underground Railroad
by Steve Ink (San Jose, California United States)
Race to Freedom is worth watching as an introduction to the underground railroad leading up to the Civil War. Some of the characters intertwined in the story are actual historical figures who played roles in the underground railroad. The technical quality of the sound on the copy I recieved was not very good, but all in all it is worth watching.
4/5
Worth Watching
by Miranda Wise (Northern, VA)
Until watching this movie, I hadn't given much thought to the fact that whites were very much a part of helping slaves with the Underground Railroad. I liked how the female character had gained favor with her master only to turn around and break camp with her handsome field hand. Both she and the field hand wanted to get married.
Then came the suspense! Oh boy! Once the massah found out his little peach pie of a black girl had jumped ship, he sent the hound dogs after them.
The ending, while not expected, was quite refreshing and uplifting. I gave it four stars instead of five because it could have been a little longer. Nonetheless, this is a Must-see.
4/5
Good pick for history classes
by T. E. Molden (Fargo, ND)
I used this movie in my U.S. History class as we were discussing Slavery, the Underground Railroad and the events leading up to the Civil War. It gives a great depiction of what slaves would go through to get away from the everyday struggle of being a slave. Very interesting and engaging for students to easily follow along.
