| Summary |
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 sugar plantation ruins in Cuba. Step by step, they uncover the vast extent of Northern complicity in slavery while also stretching and stumbling their way through the minefield of contemporary race relations. The film is intended as a catalyst for dialogue, education and action through screenings in communities and classrooms. |
