FREEDOM RIVER highlights the life of John Parker, an ex-slave (he bought his
freedom) living in Kentucky who helped other African Americans escape slavery
via the Underground Railroad and cross the Ohio River to freedom. Dramatic
paintings, many scenes lit by pearly moonlight, add something special to this
story inspired by actual events.
