starring: Ship of Slaves-Middle Passage  Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 0733961402933 Format: Color, NTSC Label: A & E Home Video Manufacturer: A & E Home Video Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: A & E Home Video Release Date: August 20, 2001 Studio: A & E Home Video Sales Rank: 46356 Editorial Review: Description: " For over 400 years, the slave trade took black Africans from their homes to lives of cruelty and service in Europe and the New World. Millions died, and the most dangerous part of the ordeal was ""the middle passage"" the long journey aboard massive ships loaded with human cargo. Produced by Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks, whose acclaimed film Amistad tells the story of a mutiny aboard a slaveship, SHIPS OF SLAVES is a searching look at the history and legacy of slavery in the New World. Dramatic re-enactments filmed aboard a preserved slaveship show the horrific conditions the slaves endured. Leading scholars, including authors Dr. Joseph Harris (Africans and Their History) and Dr. Howard Jones (Mutiny on the Amistad) detail the origins of the slave trade, how the slaves were captured and transported and the vast contributions of slaves and former slaves to American culture. And follow the story of Cinque and the Amistad from the uprising on the waters to the case that made history. SHIPS OF SLAVES also tells the individual stories of those who struggled to survive ""the Black Holocaust"" through oral histories, rare diaries and artwork." Average Rating:

First of all, let me say, this man is incredibly talented. I personally am not a fan of historical films, but this one grabbed me and pulled me into its world. It makes you actually feel like you are on the boat with the slaves..rocking back and forth...being mistreated..suffering from malnutrition.. This is one incredibly ...
