Originally published June 19, 2020 and updated June 19th, 2023 Commemorating an American Hero. Frederick Douglass wrote a letter to Harriet Tubman and said the following: "The midnight sky and the silent stars have been the witnesses of your devotion to freedom and of your heroism…I know of no one who has willingly encountered more perils and hardships to serve our enslaved people than you have."   This Juneteenth we spotlight a story about an incredible American hero who changed the world.  TheArchive  proudly presents  A Woman Called Moses , a miniseries honoring the life of Harriett Tubman who summoned the strength and indomitable will to defy and overcome a tyrannous system. Debuting in 1978... A Woman Called Moses  was produced as a television miniseries and based on the life of Harriet Tubman, the escaped slave who organized the infamous Underground Railroad, ultimately leading scores from enslavement to freedom.

From Vegas to Lake Huron, and everywhere in between, it seems the UFO sighting is hotter than ever. Even former Air Force veteran and  military intelligence official David Grusch has been on a tear as of late claiming the U.S. government has an alien spacecraft they are currently working to "reverse engineer."

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day TheArchive honors the millions who perished and the millions whose eternal light continues to shine as a beacon of hope. The Holocaust stands as a stark reminder of the dangers of hatred, intolerance, and antisemitism, and it serves as a call to action for all people of conscience to work towards a more just and peaceful world. Our extensive library of Holocaust films, many Oscar winning or nominated, spotlights the importance of remembering the past, and of the need to be vigilant against all forms of hate and discrimination. We must remember the past in order to shape a better future for all people.    Oscar winning documentary,  The Long Way Home , echoes those ideals as it depicts the plight of Jewish refugees after World War II that contributed to the creation of the State of Israel.  The film examines the horrific conditions for Jewish refugees even in post-war Europe, as antisemitism was still prevalent and poverty the norm.  The forma
