True historical facts are revealed at the end. It's the first movie I've ever seen that's specifically about the Underground Railroad. Beautiful scenery and costuming. At times I felt that I was watching a Broadway show... which is a definite thumbs up. Don't listen to a negative review on this movie as the subject matter is too important! Some parts of the movie are tough to watch, for sure. Learning about the person that wrote "Amazing Grace" was fascinating. No spoilers here! You can't help but fall in love with Philip Boykin!! A great performance and a great voice! Bravo!! I'll definitely recommend this movie to friends. I'm a bit surprised I didn't hear of it when it came out. I guess it was a sleeper. (I've written 9 lines... my first review. I think IMDb should change it's requirement of 10 lines to leave a review. It's too much. Make it 6, 7, or 8 lines max.)'' Written by marcialynne on IMDb. ''What an incredible movie. It truly deserves to win 12 Oscars. I just saw 'The Islands' in the theaters from the same writer and I'm shocked this film did not get a national theater release as well. It merited some theater release as I never heard of this film before. I'm glad 'The Islands' received a national theater release as it's just as good a film. In my opinion this movie is insuperable in its genre and being a faith-based film is even more astounding.....''
