Adapted from Selwyn Seyfu Hinds accalimed novel. "Washington Black" is a tale of freedom, adventure and the desire to change the world.

It's a much more hopeful and optimistic ending than the novel's. There, Wash heading into the sandstorm reads as a mirror to Titch walking out into a snowstorm, suggesting that perhaps, like Titch, Wash is losing himself in the pains of his past.

Sterling K. Brown and Ernest Kingsley Jr. star in this new miniseries, based on Esi Edugyan’s 2018 novel, in which a black boy flees a Barbados sugar plantation and embarks on a global adventure.
