Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North

In this documentary, ten cousins discover that their New England ancestors were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history and embark on a journey which brings them face-to-face with the history and legacy of New England's hidden commercial enterprise. The film traverses the steps of the Triangle Trade, the family's hometown of Bristol, Rhode Island, slave forts on the coast of Ghana, and the ruins of a family plantation in Cuba.
