Viewer discretion advised. Narrated by Danny Glover, Josiah tells the remarkable story of author, abolitionist, and former slave, Josiah Henson, who escaped to Canada in 1830 after 42 years of enslavement, and was a key inspiration for Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. Once free, Henson rescued 118 slaves and founded the Dawn freeman settlement in Dresden, Ontario.
