Subrina Wood, the Cinnamon Cinephile; Cynthia Roseberry, a criminal justice attorney in Atlanta; and the mysterious Q, a policy professional in DC, discuss the heated debates surrounding the new Harriet Tubman movie - Harriet. Should Deborah Martin Chase have cast British actress Cynthia Erivio as Harriet? Does the film pander to white audiences? Do the fictional characters add or detract from this incredible true story? Does #BoycottHarriet make any sense?
