      abstract = {On June 4, 1844, John W. Jones and four of his companions  headed north. They were fugitive slaves who escaped bondage  in Leesburg, Virginia.  300 Miles to Freedom chronicles  John W Jones' journey to freedom on the Underground  Railroad and his remarkable life as a free man in Elmira,  New York.  When John arrived in Elmira, he was a  twenty-seven-year-old illiterate with $1.46 in his pocket.  He died in 1900, a wealthy, literate, respected member of  the community.  The filmmakers traveled Jones' route to  freedom, and tell his story through the voices they meet  along the way - historians, ferryboat captains, ministers,  farmers and gas station owners.  300 Miles to Freedom  celebrates the courage and tenacity of fugitive slaves like  John W Jones. The film also celebrates those who quietly  stood up to injustice by helping slaves escape on the  Underground Railroad and by fighting for their freedom  through the Abolitionist Movement.},
