From the list, find each word and circle its letters in the puzzle to reveal a message relating to this week's theme By Kyla Brewer TV Media A s protests and demonstrations across the U.S. and the world shine a light on systemic racism, a new miniseries brings TV viewers back in time to the era of slavery in the weeks before the eruption of the Civil War. Given its context and the content, the production is poised to spark further conversa - tion on the state of race relations today. Ethan Hawke ("Dead Poets Soci- ety," 1989) stars as famous aboli- tionist John Brown in "The Good Lord Bird," premiering Sunday, Oct. 4, on Showtime. The seven-part se- ries is based on the novel of the same name by James McBride and, although inspired by actual events, features fictional characters as it explores Brown's story. Joshua Ca - leb Johnson ("Black-ish") stars alongside Hawke as fictional young slave Henry Shackleford, whom Brown "frees" and nicknames "Onion" after mistaking him for a girl and giving him a dress to wear. He soon joins the ranks of Brown's rag-tag army, and the story unfolds through his eyes. McBride's novel was released in 2013 and quickly drew compari- sons to Mark Twain's classic "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." It was touted for its "wonderfully bi- zarre images" by Héctor Tobar in the Los Angeles Times and went on to win the National Book Award for Fiction. Hawke not only stars in the television adaptation of the book but also adapted the story for the small screen alongside fellow exec- utive producer Jason Blum ("Sharp Objects"). "The genius of the novel, for me, is how it deals with gender and race, and how we deal with the blind spots that we see," Hawke said at the winter Television Critics Association media tour. Much like the book, the minise- ries explores racial, religious and gender roles in America and, ac- cording to an official Showtime re- lease, "weaves a humorous, dra- matic and historical tapestry of An- tebellum America." Showtime's "The Good Lord Bird" opens in Kansas in 1856, during a time known as "Bleeding Kansas," when anti-slavery groups clashed with pro-slavery groups. Even though that was 164 years ago, the content seems somewhat timely with the current focus on the #BlackLivesMatter movement and the outrage over systemic racism in America and around the world. Originally slated to premiere in August, the miniseries was pushed back to October — a move that Peter White from Deadline.com reported may have been de- signed to give produc- ers time to carefully consider the content and design an appropriate PR campaign. Even with the delay, there's plen- ty of buzz about the series, thanks in part to Hawke's involvement. The program marks the Academy Award nominee's first major TV gig in nearly a decade. It's clear from the trailer for the new series that Hawke's Brown is sufficiently un- hinged. The real-life Brown was on a mission to abolish slavery at just about any cost, allegedly convinced that he was doing God's work and that violence was necessary to end the practice of slavery. Bringing such a character to life would be a challenge for any actor, but Hawke's part in the miniseries is just one in a long list of challenging roles the actor has tackled through- out his career. He first came to the attention of audiences as Todd An- derson in "Dead Po- ets Society" (1989) alongside Robin Wil- liams ("Mrs. Doubtfire," 1993). Hawke's other notable film credits in- clude "Reality Bites" (1994), Rich- ard Lin- klater's "Before" trilogy and "Train- ing Day" (2001) — the latter of which earned him an Oscar nomi- nation for Best Actor in a Support- ing Role. He also earned a nod in the same category for "Boyhood" (2014). The actor is no stranger to adapting stories for the screen, hav- ing earned two Oscar nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay for "Before Sunset" (2004) and "Be- fore Midnight" (2013). Hawke's co-star Johnson is one of the entertainment industry's up- and-comers. The teenager has land- ed roles in FX's "Snowfall," TNT's "Animal Kingdom" and ABC's "Black-ish." On the big screen, he starred in the indie movie "It's Just a Gun" (2017) and the feature "Ray Meets Helen" (2017). In contrast to Johnson's portray- al of a fictional character, Broadway star Daveed Diggs ("Hamilton," 2020) plays a real-life historical fig- ure: famed orator and abolitionist Frederick Douglass. In "The Good Lord Bird," Brown and Onion take refuge with Douglass and his wife for a spell. Of course, this isn't the first time Diggs has portrayed a his- torical figure. The actor, singer, rap- per and songwriter originated the roles of Thomas Jefferson and Mar- quis de Lafayette in the musical "Hamilton," winning both a Tony and a Grammy. On film, the multi- faceted performer has appeared in "Wonder" (2017) and "Velvet Buzzsaw" (2019), while his TV cred- its include "Black-ish" and "Snow- piercer."
