Mexico was one of the first countries to abolish slavery in 1829 .
After Texas seceded from Mexico , enslaved people realized that if they could make the short trip to the Rio Grande , they'd be a quick boat ride away from freedom.
The documentary "Just a Ferry Ride to Freedom" documents this history of allyship between enslaved people and Mexicans in great detail.
