a culture that, in many ways, was born in the bowels of those slave ships.Įnslaved is a Canada/UK co-production between Toronto-based Associated Producers and London-based Cornelia Street Productions. The series also celebrates stories of resistance, the cultures left behind and the culture that we live in. These modern day adventures serve as springboards to tell the stories of the ideology, economics and politics of slavery.
The divers are charismatic and articulate. The series tracks the efforts of Diving with a Purpose (DWP), an offshoot of the National Association of Black Scuba Divers, as they put together a multi-racial group of men and women, to search for and locate six slave ships that went down with their human cargo. It’s also a story of resistance, accomplishment and hope. It’s a story of brutality and inhumanity. At least 10% - 2 million people! - died en route. Over 12 million Africans - men, women and children - were kidnapped and sold into slavery.
The series is led by Hollywood icon and human rights activist, Samuel L. Enslaved: The Lost History of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, is a 6x1 hour television series about 400 years of human trafficking from Africa to the New World.
