The compelling story of one of the most important, yet largely unheralded heroes of the Underground Railroad, comes to life in the new 60-minute documentary "UNDERGROUND RAILROAD: THE WILLIAM STILL STORY" airing nationwide on PBS on Monday, February 6, 2012 at 10 pm ET. This film also explores the major role Canada played in the complex humanitarian enterprise that helped deliver tens of thousands of men, women, and children from bondage.
