Solomon Northup (Avery Brooks) and Jenny/Patsey (Rhetta Greene) in Solomon Northup's Odyssey (1984).
Patsey does not appear in Solomon Northup’s Odyssey. She is instead replaced by a fictional character named Jenny. To make the film more bearable for the larger audience a romantic storyline was added into the film between Solomon and Jenny/Patsey by Gordon Parks.
