First-time filmmaker Katrina Browne explores her New England ancestors, the largest slave‐trading family in U.S. history. Browne and nine descendants of her family retrace the steps of the ‘Triangle Trade’ beginning in their old hometown of Bristol, Rhode Island. There, they discover disturbing historic documents proving that slavery was a cornerstone of Northern commercial life. Traveling to slave forts in Ghana, they meet with African‐Americans on their own homecoming pilgrimages, before moving on to the ruins of a family‐owned sugar plantation in Cuba. At each stop the family re-thinks the legacy of slavery, not only for black Americans, but also for themselves as white Americans, and how to take public action given all that they now know.
