"Traces of the Trade," followed by a discussion with the filmmaker, Katrina Browne
Sunday, March 8th, 7:00pm
First Church in Jamaica Plain, Unitarian Universalist

FREE!
Join us for a special screening of the acclaimed documentary "Traces of the Trade," with filmmaker and JP-resident Katrina Browne. Featured on PBS and at the Sundance Film Festival, this film recounts Browne's inquiry into the DeWolf family, her forefathers and the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history.
"Traces of the Trade" follows ten DeWolf descendants as they retrace the steps of the Triangle Trade, visiting the DeWolf hometown of Bristol, Rhode Island, slave forts on the coast of Ghana, and the ruins of a family plantation in Cuba. Browne pushes the family forward as they struggle through the minefield of race politics.
Katrina Browne will join us after the film to answer audience questions. |
