Harriet Tubman really did experience visions as is depicted in the film. Many historians claim that this is likely due to a head injury she received in her youth.
When William Still writes down Harriet Tubman's name on the list of the conductors, 4 names are visible. The name on top of the list isn't clear, but the other three names are - Lewis Napoleon 21-2 (91.3% success rate), Moses Pinkett 28-5 (84.8%), and John Clay 43-7 (86.0%). Harriet had claimed she had never lost a slave, leaving her at a 100% success rate.
This is the first feature film to be made about the life of Harriet Tubman.
Producer Debra Martin Chase chose Cynthia Erivo for the title role because of her impressive track record: Tony, Grammy and Emmy for "The Color Purple" musical on Broadway.
The character of Marie Buchanon was created for the movie.
"Harriet: [to Gideon, at gunpoint] You'll die right here. On a frozen, blood-soaked battlefield, the moans of a generation of young men in your ears, dying in agony around you, for a lost cause. For a vile and wicked idea! For the sin of slavery! Can you hear them? God don't mean people to own people, Gideon! Our time is near!"
"Harriet: [addressing the Colored Union regiment] Suppose there's a snake coiled at your feet, and it shoots up to bite you. Folks get scared and send for a doctor to cut out the bite. But the snake, he rolled up there and while the doctor cutting, he bites you again, in a new place this time. The doctor makes another cut, the snake spring up and bites again. Finally you realize the snake ain't gonna stop till someone kills him. Slavery is still alive. Those rice fields downriver are feeding Rebel troops, with the toil of a thousand slaves still in bondage. Our mission is to free those slaves. We've waited years to be allowed to fight in this war, against our own enslavement. And it will not be won without us! Now is our time! Are you ready to kill the snake?"
