From a media release:
THE BOOK OF NEGROES continues to capture the attention of Canadians, with 1.3 million Canadians turning to CBC to watch the second episode of Aminata Diallo’s journey unfold, played by the luminous Aunjanue Ellis.
The award-winning novel by Lawrence Hill has been given a new life on the small screen; Canadians can watch on Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. (9:30 NT) on CBC until February 11, 2015.
Awesome retention! CBC is really on fire this winter which is welcome news after their rough fall. AllAll 3 of their midseason miniseries–Book of Negroes, Ascension, C Company–look great. I am enjoying Book of Negroes. My only problem so far with it is I wish it was longer than 6 episodes. This past episode too much happened in her life and I wish it had been divided into two episodes rather than just one.
