Story
In Mobile, Alabama, the residents of Africatown have preserved oral histories passed down through generations about their ancestors' arrival in America. These stories center on the Clotilda, an illegal slave ship that brought enslaved people to the region in 1860 before being deliberately sunk. For over a century, this history remained largely unrecognized. The documentary follows the community as the discovery of the Clotilda's wreckage finally provides physical evidence to support their long-told accounts and honor their heritage.
Why watch

- Directed by Margaret Brown with a runtime of 111 minutes
- Documentary format examining validated historical evidence and ancestral connections
Good for: Viewers interested in African American history and documentaries exploring overlooked historical narratives; content is educational but may contain mature historical themes.
