the first time i heard of this movie be in college . i then purchase myself a copy . this movie be amazing and probably the truest and realest movie regard slavery . it tell of the horror and abuse african people who be bring to this country endure . i believe this be a must see for everyone regardless of race . the strength alone of the people and to deal with what they face and to still rise above that be absolutely incredible . it be a shame that this movie get no recognition in the u . i guess it would cause people to deal with the reality of the horrific brutality human being face during this dark era in american history .
