Скачать или смотреть Slave Routes: A Global Vision, UNESCO Slave Route Project

This documentary portrays diverse histories and heritages of the Global African Diaspora that resulted mainly from the commerce in African lives that forcefully displaced millions of African peoples across oceans and deserts to distant lands. Using examples from the Middle East, South Asia, North Africa, Europe and the Americas, it highlights the contributions of Africans and their descendants both to the enrichment of their enslavers and to the creation of new cultural forms.

Moving beyond the tragedies of enslavement, it sheds light on resistance in Africa and the African Diaspora beginning in the 9th century and illustrates ways in which enslaved Africans and their descendants triumphed over unprecedented oppression to play essential roles in shaping world civilization.
