This documentary series follows the efforts of 'Diving with a Purpose' as they employ new methods of underwater archaeology as a means of identifying and locating sunken slave ships that went down with their human cargo for the first time in history.
Learn more about the stories of the ideology, economics, and politics of slavery, while also experiencing stories of resistance, the cultures left behind, and the culture that we live in today.
Each episode tracks three separate story lines: the quest for a sunken slave ship, a personal journey by Samuel L. Jackson, and a historical investigation led by investigative journalists Simcha Jacobovici and Afua Hirsch.
