Barry Jenkin’s film The Underground Railroad is here and the lead actress, our very own Thuso Mbedu, is topping the trends list. Thuso plays the character Cora Randall who absconds a plantation with a man named Caesar.
Speaking about the character on Instagram, Thuso wrote, “Cora is… simple, but complicated. We are only as strong as our hardest challenge and, through Cora, we see that. She gives hope for a future to the everyday man and woman who, with each new day, find themselves fighting for something.”
The Underground Railroad premiered today on Amazon Prime Video.
