There was nothing very informative or revealing in this documentary. It was a nice effort undertaken by black stars to read aloud slave narratives in the original dialect they were recorded in. I was hoping for more day-to-day information about the slave life, but instead isolated events and memories of masters and mistresses are reflected on, with some exceptions. If you all ready know the history of slavery and this sad time, you will mostly be entertained by this well crafted documentary. You won't learn anything new. Several times, the images of the volumes containing all the slave narratives obtained in the 1930s were shown. I can't help but wonder what other stories there are that were not included in this documentary. Worth a look for the entertainment purposes, but little offered in the way of education.
