Summary:
The film's primary focus is on the slave system in which ships from Nantes circled Africa and exchanged goods for black captives who were sold to the French colonies in the New World. Using a mixture of paintings, documents, artifacts and the words of those involved in this cruel system, the film brings the reality of slavery to life for a modern audience.
