The Runaways

Description

News of Harriet Tubman’s arrival sparks three enslaved friends to turn their plantation up-the-f*ck-side-down, no consequences… except they oversleep. Now with no guide, no plan, and no damn sense, they chart a chaotic course north, accidentally showing three-fifths of the Delta how to claim their own half-baked slice of freedom.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
