Halifax County Black History Month Event

Freedom of NC is a full feature movie filmed at Historic Hope Plantation in Windsor, NC by James Jones.

Synopsis

Sarah Jones is a fourteen-year-old little slave girl who dreams of her family one day living outside the hoperville plantation in Washington, North Carolina. There’s only one elder who has the answer to what Sarah needs and shares it with her just before she dies. Sarah must convince to her mother and five brothers that she must get in the big house to recover a doll that has a map on it to the freedom land. The family is hysterical and totally against it because of the risk that is involved, but after Sarah expresses this is what she has to do with or without them there was no turning back. Sarah got the trust of the overseer and convinced to him that she can be a big help to her master working in the big house. Sarah began to put her plan into motion and she was told that she would be working in the big house come time tomorrow. After months in the big house no sign of the doll until one day, she happens to find it in the most bizarre place. (Click website to read more and watch the trailer)
