A Woman Called Moses Movie Review 1978

The story of Harriet Ross Tubman, who bought her freedom from slavery, founded the underground railroad, and helped lead hundreds of slaves to freedom before the Civil War. Wonderful performance by Tyson but the telefilm is bogged down by a so-so script. Based on the novel by Marcy Heldish.
