FIRST LOOK: Cynthia Erivo As Harriet Tubman In ‘Harriet’

Glen Wilson / Focus Features

We’re totally freaking out about the new production stills of the forthcoming Harriet, based on the true story of iconic freedom fighter Harriet Tubman.

The film follows the trailblazer on her escape from slavery and subsequent missions to free dozens of slaves through the Underground Railroad in the face of growing pre-Civil War adversity. 

Of course, who better to play Harriet than Tony-winner Cynthia Erivo — who by the looks of it is about to deliver the performance of a lifetime.

Harriet would be proud.
