An Homage to the Life and Legacy of Harriet Tubman

a walk in her shoes dvd

See history and current events in a new way, when you watch the A Walk in Her Shoes documentary about Harriet Tubman’s journeys. 

Can you imagine walking 695 miles like Harriet Tubman did many times? 

Metra Lundy not only imagined it, she actually recreated 245 miles of Harriet Tubman’s journey walking from coastal Maryland to St. Catharines in Canada. 

The experience transformed her and can transform those of us who watch the documentary. 

I’ve read books and articles and have watched other films about this subject, but none of them impacted me the way this film does. 

A Walk in Her Shoes shines a light on history and ties it into the present in an intimate and thoughtful way. 

“You need to know what happened before to even understand what’s happening today.”
