An unforgettable story of love, history and a search for justice, set in modern-day New York and 1852 Virginia. Weaving together the story of Josephine, an escaped slave in the pre-Civil War South and a determined junior lawyer, The House Girl follows Lina Sparrow as she looks for an appropriate lead plaintiff in a lawsuit seeking compensation for families of slaves. A searing, suspenseful and heartbreaking tale of art and history, love and secrets. No registration required.
