It’s an older movie, A young black man is being whipped and a white woman wraps her body around his to shield him and she winds up being whipped.
also the woman who does this, is a familiar actress, I think she’s from an old prairie doctor show – but I’m not certain
It sounds like Jane Seymour in “Enslavement: The True Story of Fanny Kembal.” She marries a plantation owner in the deep South, tries to improve the conditions, then helps slaves to escape. She also played a frontier physician on “Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman.”
