i go to the trouble of register at this site just so i could disagree with the previous reviewer . i think this be a fantastic document . if it cause people to look with sorrow and anger at the immoral behavior of slaveholder and well it should . i also disagree vehemently with people who say represent this should be see especially by african american . i think it should be see especially by white american because the slave experience and now that all the eye witness be long dead and be in danger of be forget . i be a jew and feel fearful about the death of the last holocaust survivor . already there be people say it never happen . so and too and with the horror of slavery . but within this dvd be the voice and real and vital and of the witness . the wpa book series ( which be available free to read on the library of congress site ) be a priceless part of our history . yes and i shudder with grief and rage at the behavior of the white who participate in and condone and or simply tolerate the treatment of black under slavery . the reading be beautifully do . the actor be great and very involved in the project . the editing be exceptionally good . the music and primarily by the mcintosh county shouter and be also great . the period photography be use to perfect effect we can look right into those eye and imagine what they saw . editing be unobtrusive and that be to say that we hear the voice of the slave undimmed by egotist on the modern end .
