"On the whole, Americans don't know much about the Underground Railroad, which wasn't an actual railroad but a secret network of passageways and safe houses slaves used to escape to the North and Canada before and during the Civil War.

"That fascinating and dangerous experience is dramatized WGN America's Underground -- as a suspenseful thriller. It's about a fictional group of slaves who dare escape a plantation -- and an abolitionist couple who will help them.

"Underground portrays slavery like you've never seen it before: through characters on a courageous run for their lives...

"If you'd like to watch "Underground," you can see it on the following cable and satellite channels:

"Time Warner Cable: Channel 9
DirecTV: Channel 307
ATT U-Verse: Channel 180
Dish Network: Channel 239"

I wonder if Kate Clifford Larson was involved in the production of this?
