Oppression and slavery have been a significant part of the history of the world. The past is very cruel and sad, yes? Luckily, some people with compassion helped in liberating those who suffer from it. Some of these individuals and resistance groups successfully delivered the oppressed.

One of them was Harriet Tubman, an American abolitionist born into slavery herself who was able to escape eventually. After her escape, she went on to save about 70 enslaved people in 13 rescue missions where some were close to her heart. Tubman became instrumental for the establishment of the Underground Railroad. After she passed away in 1913, Tubman became a figure of freedom and courage for all that she has done.

In November 2019, a Tubman biopic was theatrically released in the United States. This film was directed by Kasi Lemmons, the director behind Hollywood hits Widows and Bad Times at the El Royale. How to Get Away with Murder's Viola Davis was initially reported to play Harriet Tubman in this biographical movie, but it never came to fruition. Instead, Cynthia Erivo, a rising star who continues to ride the waves of success, took over to play the role.

It first held its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2019. In the film festival, the movie received positive feedback. Erivo's performance earned nothing but praise from the critics. The movie is now out for pre-order. So check out the list below for the best websites to watch Harriet online!
