Africans produced precious goods and spices that attracted European traders to the west coast of Africa. With the discovery of the New World, Europeans hungered for a different type of \"cargo\" — enslaved Africans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this Globe Trekker special, Megan McCormick, Justine Shapiro, Ian Wright, and Zoe Palmer take a journey across four continents to discover more about this terrible episode of history, which saw twelve million people taken out of Africa and two million killed. The journey begins in West Africa, with visits to ports in Benin, Ghana, Senegal, and the Cape Verde Islands, from where slaves were shipped across the Atlantic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe program follows the route to the Americas with visits to sugar and cotton plantations formerly worked by enslaved people in Brazil, the United States, and the Caribbean. Next, the series visits the City of London, home to England's most famous companies and institutions that both profited from the slave trade and helped to abolish it. Finally, the program visits the world's most dazzling carnivals in Rio de Janeiro, Trinidad, and London to celebrate the cultural legacy of slave culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct details:\u003cbr\u003eProduct Code: PGD0104\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 1-935180-36-3\u003cbr\u003eFormat: NTSC DVD, All Regions\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eRunning time: 55 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pilot Productions \/ WETA","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51602178769174,"sku":"135300","price":13.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2026721163144556scan.jpg?v=1784765104","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/globe-trekker-transatlantic-slave-trade","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
