Frederick Douglass: No Turning Back

Winner of four international film awards, Kyle Taylor stars in this gripping drama. Frederick Douglass, No Turning Back is set in 1872, Ohio, where Frederick Douglass is on a national tour. The pastor (Clarence Felder) introduces him to his integrated church. Douglass then gives an electrifying sermon on his breathtaking journey from slavery to author, newspaper editor, and leading American statesmen. One of our greatest heroes, Douglass had many triumphs, including helping pass Amendments to the US Constitution. He reveals his life in the North, in London, and as a Christian leader, with wit and wisdom. He could have lived in Europe but felt God's call to return to America to win freedom for all. There was no turning back.
