"Based on the award-winning novel by Andrea Levy , The Long Song is a bold and inspiring story set during the final days of slavery in 19th century Jamaica. This poignant miniseries follows the indomitable young slave, July (Tamara Lawrance, Small Axe), who works on a sugarcane plantation owned by her detestable mistress, Caroline Mortimer (Hayley Atwell, Howards End, Agent Carter). Their lives change with the arrival of the charming new overseer, Robert Goodwin (Jack Lowden, War & Peace), who sets out to improve the plantation for both the slaves and the mistress. Told from July's perspective as she reflects upon her life, The Long Song is a tale of love, hope and defiance in the face of injustice."--Container.
