About this film+

In 1839, African captives take control of a slave ship and end up in a complex legal battle for their freedom in the United States. The film deals with themes of justice, human rights, and the cruelty of the slave trade. The lighting is often dramatic and Rembrandt-like, using deep shadows and rich, earthy browns.
