Was Alexander Graham Bell the inventor of the telephone, or was it some mysterious southerner? #engsub.#Legal. "Enslavement:The True Story Of Fanny Kemble" is a must see for Jane Seymour,Keith Carradine and James Keach fans.I saw this movie years and years ago because I like Jane Seymour and I was not prepared for such an excellent movie about a real lady who was trying in her way to fight the horrible institution of slavery.I was hooked the first minute that I started watching the movie.James Keach as the kindly doctor and Keith Carradine as the man that Fanny falls in love with and marries were both superb.I was stunned by the scene where Fanny puts herself over the slave so her husband could not whip the slave woman.Jane,Keith and James I think did this movie as a labor of love.This would be an excellent movie for teenagers to see so they could get an idea about what slavery was like in the deep south in America in the 1800s so long ago.Check this one out!I have this movie on DVD. 3 out of 4 found this helpful.

There is disturbing content in this. Fannie was appalled by the treatment and conditions the slaves had to endure. Keith, one of the sons of the masterful John Carradine, is the male lead, and also does marvelously. Acting is great, and Jane Seymour is completely beyond reproach as the courageous Fanny, who would fight for her convictions. The scripting is true to life and very accurate of that comprised in Fanny Kemble's Journals. 7/10 Enslavement: The True Story of Fanny Kemble is a 2000 American television film starring Jane Seymour and directed by James Keach . The directing by James Keach is just superb. I have just modified one external link on Enslavement: The True Story of Fanny Kemble. The movie has so many improbable and therefore distracting events, that I found myself feeling that the characters were entirely fictional.For instance-early on, the groom (this is pre-civil war) says that he "called" someone last week and got some information. Her intention to publish her personal journals to inform the public of the inhumane treatment of the slaves became a bitter source of conflict between Fannie and her spouse. Although watching Seymour's Kemble preach social equality while sauntering through slave quarters in white gloves with a parasol, strikes me as one of the more pharisaical images of late, at least performances from Eugene Byrd and "Oz's" Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, help free this film from the shackles of one dimensional self congratulation.
