Dido Elizabeth Belle is a biracial aristocrat in 18th-century England. Although she is raised by her aunt and uncle in a privileged existence alongside her white cousin and she is wealthy in her own right thanks to her late father, her options are few, due to her odd combination of status and race. This little-seen historical drama (based loosely on a true story) has all the trappings of a period drama with lush costumes and swoon-inducing romance, but it also tackles issues of race, class, gender, and intersectionality in a way that most fail to do, with a story of sisterhood and romance set against a landmark slavery legal case in England.
