Becoming Frederick Douglass
In Becoming Frederick Douglass, acclaimed filmmaker Stanley Nelson and co-director Nicole London bring an American icon's story to life. Using Douglass's own strong, insightful speeches and writing, the story retraces his path from a man born and reared in slavery to one of the most recognized elder statesmen in the United States and one of the most inspiring advocates for freedom. With additional context and insight provided by historians, scholars, and Douglass's descendants, the filmmakers recount the brutality and trauma of Douglass's childhood while illuminating his character strength, defiance against the bonds of slavery, and the influences that guided his lifelong pursuit of freedom.

His life and achievements continue to inspire activists, educators, and American citizens in their quest for freedom, equality, and a more just society.
