Based on the thrilling and inspirational life of an iconic American freedom fighter, Harriet tells the extraordinary tale of Harriet Tubman's escape from slavery and transformation into one of America’s greatest heroes. Her courage, ingenuity, and tenacity freed hundreds of slaves and changed the course of history. (UrbanWorld Film Festival)

This film is hardly a surprise. It’s 2020, the Oscars are drawing near so we need to make another sad story about American slavery, with a lead role played by some new black actress or actor so that we fulfil Hollywood standards. And even though it sometimes doesn’t turn out so bad, usually it’s a fail. Just like in case of Harriet. It would’ve been okay as an average movie randomly watched on daytime TV, but the Oscar nomination puzzles me. It might be enough for Hollywood, but not for everybody else.
