Embark on a journey to Sierra Leone to uncover a new perspective on slave trade in the 1800s.
In 1839, a group of Africans rebelled against their captors and took charge of the slave schooner Amistad. They sailed to New York and, once found by the United States Navy, were jailed for “piracy and murder.” A group of abolitionists worked with the Africans to launch a legal defense campaign and won their case before the Supreme Court. In 1842, the Africans triumphantly returned home to Sierra Leone. It was a personal victory for the group of rebels and a victory for the abolitionist movement as a whole decades before the Civil War. Over 170 years later, American historians and scholars traveled to Sierra Leone to learn more about these rebels. Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels is the story of this journey. The filmmakers visited the villages where the rebels once lived, interviewed village elders about local memories, and searched for the ruins of a slave trading factory. Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels (airing Wednesday, February 10 at 7 p.m.) is based on the book The Amistad Rebellion: An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom by Marcus Rediker, Distinguished Professor of Atlantic History at the University of Pittsburgh. Rediker also served as producer and writer of the documentary. “We wanted to recover the hidden African side of the story,” says Rediker. “Our team set out to explore how the Amistad case was remembered in the place where the epic story began.” “We talked to villagers, town chiefs, truck drivers, teachers, and fishermen—people from all walks of life,” says Tony Buba, director of the documentary. “…We searched for, and found, living memory of slavery in general and the Amistad case in particular.” Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels is a unique perspective on the struggle against slavery, a perspective that may have otherwise been lost in history.
