York

In 1803, as America prepares to explore its newly acquired western frontier, William Clark assembles the Corps of Discovery for an expedition that will change history. Among the recruits is York, Clark's enslaved companion, a man whose strength, intelligence, and quiet leadership earn the respect of those around him, even as he remains legally property. While the Corps trains and prepares for its journey, York secretly reconnects with a free Black community, where he is forced to confront the painful contradiction between his loyalty to Clark and his own longing for freedom. As Meriwether Lewis arrives and the expedition sets out into the unknown, York embarks on a parallel journey—one of identity, dignity, and hope. Inspired by the true story of one of the expedition's most remarkable yet overlooked figures, the series reveals the untold life of the man history nearly forgot.
