The globe-trotting adventures of a gifted young boy born on a Barbados sugar plantation are the subject of Hulu/Disney Plus’ lavish, time-jumping period drama Washington Black.
Based on Esi Edugyan’s novel of the same, the vibrant 19th century-set piece follows titular character George Washington ‘Wash’ Black, played by Ernest Kingsley Junior (Grace, The Sandman), as he battles persecution and pursues liberty against the odds.
