Director Barry Jenkins Rickard Rakell Jersey , whose movie Moonlight won this year's best picture Oscar, is writing and directing a drama for Amazon based on a prize-winning novel about escaping from slavery.

Jenkins, 37 Antoine Vermette Jersey , said he was excited to be working with such rich literary material.


"Colson's writing has always defied convention, and The Underground Railroad is no different," the director said in a statement Monday.
