Description
This DVD is licensed for HOME USE ONLY.
First-time filmmaker Katrina Browne makes a troubling discovery - her New England ancestors were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. She and nine fellow descendants set off to retrace the Triangle Trade: from their old hometown in Rhode Island, to slave forts in Ghana, to the ruins of a sugar plantation in Cuba. Step by step, they uncover the vast extent of Northern complicity in slavery while stumbling and stretching their way through the minefield of contemporary race relations. The film is being released in 2008 for the bicentennial of the U.S. abolition of the slave trade.
