ENSLAVED: THE LOST HISTORY OF THE TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE

ENSLAVED: THE LOST HISTORY OF THE TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE, presented by Hollywood icon and human rights activist Samuel L. Jackson, chronicles 400 years of human trafficking from Africa to the New World. 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. These modern-day adventures serve as springboards to tell the stories behind the ideology, economics and politics of slavery. It’s a story of brutality and inhumanity, but also of resistance, accomplishment and hope.
