Becoming Frederick Douglass (2021)

　　In Becoming Frederick Douglass, acclaimed director Stanley Nelson and co-director Nicole London bring to life the story of an American icon. Using Douglass's own powerful, profound speeches and writing, the story retraces his journey from a man born and raised in slavery to one of the most prominent elder statesmen and inspiring voices for freedom in American history. With additional context and insight provided by historians, scholars and Douglass's descendants, the filmmakers recount the brutality and trauma of his childhood while illuminating his strength of character, defiance against the bonds of slavery and the influences that guided his lifelong quest for freedom. The most celebrated Black man of his era, Douglass's legacy and achievements continue to resonate today. His life and work still inspires activists, educators and citizens in the fight for freedom, equality and a more just American society. 　　译文(2): 在《成为弗雷德里克·道格拉斯》中，备受赞誉的导演斯坦利 · 尼尔森和联合导演妮可 · 伦敦使一个美国偶像的故事栩栩如生。通过道格拉斯自己有力而深刻的演讲和写作，这个故事追溯了他从一个在奴隶制中出生和长大的人到美国历史上最杰出的老一辈政治家和鼓舞人心的自由之声的历程。通过历史学家、学者和道格拉斯的后代提供的额外背景和洞察力，电影制作人讲述了他童年的残忍和创伤，同时阐明了他性格的力量，反抗奴隶制的束缚，以及引导他终生追求自由的影响力。道格拉斯是他那个时代最著名的黑人，他的遗产和成就至今仍能引起人们的共鸣。他的生活和工作仍然激励着积极分子、教育家和公民为自由、平等和一个更加公正的美国社会而奋斗。
