Harriet returning to theaters for free Black History Month screenings
Harriet Tubman’s legacy will live on (for free) on movie screens around the country for Black History Month.
Focus Features has partnered with Regal to offer free screenings of Cynthia Erivo’s Oscar-nominated biopic Harriet — which follows the famed abolitionist’s quest to lead slaves to freedom during the Civil War — in 50 theaters around the country beginning next week.
On Tuesday, Feb. 4 and Tuesday, Feb. 11, audiences will be able to watch the Kasi Lemmons-directed film free of charge by securing free tickets to showings at participating locations through Gofobo.
Earlier this month, Erivo received her first pair of Oscar nominations for her work on the film, namely her lead performance in the titular role and for co-writing the original song “Stand Up,” which plays over the film’s closing credits.
“More than anything, we wanted to show the woman, so we looked into her family, her life, and her love,” Erivo previously told EW of preparing to play the part, admitting that she put herself through radical physical training — including bike-riding ahead of early morning shoots — to build up her endurance to match Tubman’s. “I did some horse riding with corsets before to make sure I got used to that. All of that, I just wanted to make sure I was ready physically so I didn’t have to think about that when I was on set. I just wanted it to be a second-nature thing for me.”
