Скачать или смотреть The Zong - Massacre on the High Seas

A story about a ship, insurance fraud, the doldrums... and murder. This tragically important story illustrates that African children, women, and men were viewed solely as economic goods, and not as people.
Please note: In the narration of this story, there is an error. At 5:43 it is mentioned that "...by 1833 England abolished slavery... ending its role in slavery forever." While it is a fact that England "legally" abolished slavery in 1833, this DID NOT end its role in slavery. The British maintained heavy involvement in the enslavement of millions of African people well into the late 19th century. Then, of course, the British and other European powers shifted their exploitive efforts to the Age of Imperialism.
