🔥 THE ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE — THE HISTORY THEY TRIED TO BUR🔥

Welcome to Africa Hidden History’s most important documentary.

This film tells the story of the Atlantic Slave Trade from an African perspective — the side most textbooks ignore. Over 400 years, more than 12.5 million Africans were forced onto slave ships, with millions more dying during capture and imprisonment. This was not just slavery. It was a demographic, economic, and civilizational catastrophe whose effects still shape Africa and the African diaspora today.

This documentary explores African kingdoms before European domination, the rise of European greed, the brutal reality of the Middle Passage, and the centuries of African resistance that history tried to erase.
