Story
Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad was praised by the New Yorker as “an evocative portrait,” and by the Chicago Tribune as “superb.” It is a gripping and accessible portrait of the heroic woman who guided more than 300 slaves to freedom and who is expected to be the face of the new $20 bill. Harriet Tubman was born a slave and dreamed of being free. She was willing to risk everything - including her own life - to see that dream come true. After her daring escape, Harriet became a conductor on the secret Underground Railroad.

Story
Johnnie Roane returns from four years of military service in World War II to his wife, Glory. They had been married just a year when he left Lennox, Connecticut, where both their families live and work. In his taxi ride home, Johnnie receives foreboding hints that all has not been well in his absence. Eager to mend his fraying marriage, Johnnie attempts to cajole Glory to recommit to their life together. But something sinister has taken place during the intervening years - an infidelity that has not gone unnoticed in the superficially placid New England town.

Story
New York, vierziger Jahre. Lutie Johnson zieht mit ihrem Sohn in eine schäbige Mietwohnung in Harlem. Ein übergriffiger Hausmeister, ein Bordell im Erdgeschoss und flüchtige Schatten, die die dunklen Flure bevölkern. Luties Leben wird bestimmt von täglichen Kämpfen. Gegen die Zweifel, ob sie ihrem Sohn eine gute Mutter sein kann, gegen Armut und Rassismus, gegen die Eintönigkeit des Alltags und die Perspektivlosigkeit ihrer Lage. Doch Lutie ist entschlossen, den Sprung in ein besseres Leben zu schaffen.

Story
Ein junger Mann kehrt aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zurück in seine Heimatstadt an der Ostküste der USA. Alles ist ihm seltsam fremd - die Frau, das Elternhaus, die Mutter. Er versucht, zurück zur Normalität zu finden, doch seine Frau sieht durch seine Rückkehr in erster Linie ihre neu gewonnene Freiheit in Gefahr. Gewalt, Missgunst, Klatsch und Untreue bestimmen daraufhin nicht nur die Beziehung des Paares, sondern die gesamte Dynamik des Ortes.
