My Story: A Picture of Freedom is a tale based on the
real-life memoirs of Clotee Henley, a young slave who helped over
150 slaves escape to freedom via the Underground Railroad.
It's 1859 and Clotee is a slave in a Virginia plantation. It's
illegal for slaves to read and write, but Clotee is teaching herself
in secret. 'Freedom' is just another word she's learned to write.
Then she finds out about the Underground Railroad, a network
of people who help runaway slaves, and discovers that freedom is
more than just a word...
