A Story of Triumph & Tragedy |
This is the story of a young man called "Runaway", and his long struggle to achieve the dream of finding Freedom. After a life of degradation and fear, with no memory of his own family, "Runaway" is finally on the long road North, to a Promised Land he has heard about in the slave songs sung by the field hands.
His biggest fear is that Freedom is nothing more than the dream of his lost people; that it doesn't really exist, and that the only Freedom he will ever acheive the final release found in death.
