Enslavement: The True Story of Fanny Kemble (TV Movie 2000). Enslavement: The True Story of Fanny Kemble: Directed by James Keach. With Jane Seymour, Keith Carradine, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Janet-Laine Green. True story from the 19th century about an English actress who marries a US plantation owner. Appalled by slavery, she dedicates her life to oppose it and her husband and help her husband's slaves in any way possible, including escaping.

“This is the courageous true story of an English actress who marries an American southerner who owns slaves. He promises her freedom before marriage but after marriage she becomes just another slave, although with many more privileges. The movie has so many improbable and therefore distracting events, that I found myself feeling that the characters were entirely fictional.For instance-early on, the groom (this is pre-civil war) says that he u0026quot;calledu0026quot; someone last week and got some information. Was Alexander Graham Bell the inventor of the telephone, or was it some mysterious southerner?”
