With the series set to start production in Winnipeg, Manitoba later this spring, more additions to the cast will be announced in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by real events and set in the roar of the 1920s, THE PORTER follows the journeys of an ensemble of characters who hustle, dream, cross borders, and pursue their ambitions in the fight for liberation &#8211; on and off the railways that crossed North America. It is a gripping story of empowerment and idealism that highlights the moment when railway workers from both Canada and the United States joined together to give birth to the world&#8217;s first Black union.<\/p><div id=\"morty-141257883\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Ameen will portray &#8216;Junior Massey,&#8217; an intelligent, smooth, ambitious, and fearless risk-taker and war veteran employed as a porter with the Transcontinental Railroad; alongside Rowe Jr. as fellow porter &#8216;Zeke Garrett,&#8217; Junior&#8217;s friend and war buddy, who is calm, thoughtful and persistent to a fault in his fight for integration.
