About this product

Product Information

A passionately dramatic interpretation of a 39-year forbidden relationship between the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson (Sam Neill, JURASSIC PARK) and a beautiful mulatto slave named Sally Hemings (Carmen Ejogo). This fictionalized historical scandal is portrayed here as the pair sharing a loving relationship, with Jefferson fathering at least one--and possibly all six--of Sally's children. A historical tale of love and triumph in the face of prejudice. Originally broadcast on CBS television.

Title described the Story Completely
The Disc arrived in excellent Condition as Advertised. Would use Seller again. Story was Captivating all the way thru, & a Love Story about one of the 1st Bi Racial movies I've seen & so true to life as it was. Would recommend it to others to watch. Acting was superb

Sally Hemings
I love the story. It brings history to life. And even if it isn't 100% true, it gives you an idea of what "could" have happened. Unfortunately, the quality of the DVD was not good. There were pixelated spots throughout and it actually froze up at about 15 minutes from the end. I tried to restart it several times and it kept freezing at the same spot every time. I have never been able to see the end. Very disappointing.

Great Historical film
I had read so much about Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings but having it in a movie form was great. The compelling story, the costumes of the time, the political agendas all add up to what I feel is a great historical story that's not boring at all.
