This story is relayed as a docu-drama, researched by historians and brought to the screen by Senegalese feature film director, Moussa Touré.
During the second half of the 19th century, slavery and slave trade slavery were theoretically forbidden. The concept of abolitionism was a known entity among the colonies of various empires. However, the slave trade continued, bringing even more injustice and violence, in a world at the dawn of a major change.
Based on rare archives – logbooks, letters, diaries – written by slaves, ship-owners, slave-traders and colonists – this documentary gathers numerous first person witness accounts. The results: an exceptional documentary that’s become a reference for an era that must never be forgotten.
I still don't understand how a human being can do anything as ugly as this to another living creature let alone another human being. How was this life for a person? How was the Caucasians able to breath air and live with these decisions? We are the products of this… We Americans of all races are the product of this. The ugly… The ugly.

I simply love this channel. Thank you for all your work.
Very well made. What those people went through was horrible beyond imagination.
Wasn't sure about watching this but then I saw it's NOT an American documentary and gave it a shot. Very well done and not political. Just the stories told from several different perspectives at that time through their journals, notes, manuals and narrations. Well worth watching. *I just read the description and it was realistically created by a Senegalese Director. That makes it even better IMO.
Again, off the mark. Prior to European slavery, African slave trade to the middle east was rampant. Even during the European slave trade it was predominantly to South America and the Caribbean. Read some history people. Was it right? No. Did it happen? Yes. Time to remember the past and make sure it never happens again.
Slavery is the major stain on our country that will never come clean.
The things humans will do for profit.
Nothing must make christians more proud than their bible justifying such cruelty.
It is so sad to see people looked at and examined as cattle or horses. The total disregard of humanity is frightening.
This is a crazy world
That trip across the Atlantic must of ben horrific so sad lots would die b4 they even got there others would die later on from shackle poisoning. Hard to imagine someone could treat others like this like they wer just animals to them cargo just a dark time in history unimaginable cruelty
Evil bastards!
Thanks for the upload. Very well produced and dubbed.
Too sad for words.
Who sold those people to the slave traders in the first place?
It's crazy this was even acted out in modern day. Insanity
