Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels
Retrace the path of the 53 Africans who rebelled against their captors and seized the slave schooner Amistad in 1839. Their goal: to visit the 10 villages where the Amistad rebels once lived; interview the elders about their history and search for the long-lost ruins of Lomboko, the slave trading factory where the Amistad Africans were loaded onto a slave ship bound for the New World.
