On YouTube, someone made a nice summary of the Harriet Tubman in just one word: “BADASS”. There is no doubt that she is one of the iconic personalities from the history of humanity, not just the United States. Also, it is a big surprise that she didn’t get a movie about her life earlier?! Anyways, that mistake is corrected and we will have a chance to watch the movie Harriet at the beginning of a November this year.

As it is already said, the story follows the thrilling and inspirational life of Harriet Tubman, her escape from slavery, her courage, ingenuity… We can say it freely that her actions have changed the course of the history and the modern look at human rights in general… She is one of the greatest heroes of America and not just America…
