Details

This three-part miniseries based on Andrea Levy’s award-winning novel about the end of slavery in Jamaica follows July (Tamara Lawrance, King Charles III), an indomitable, young slave who works on a sugarcane plantation with her detestable mistress, Caroline Mortimer (Hayley Atwell, The Avengers). Their lives change with the arrival of the charming new overseer, Robert Goodwin (Jack Lowden, Dunkirk) who sets out to improve the plantation for both the slaves and the mistress.

Prior to the meeting, please watch all three parts of "The Long Song". For more info, see https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/long-song/ . The series starts Jan 31.

We'll discuss what we thought about it and what it has to teach us.
