A Revisionist Documentary

In light of my last post, here is an example of some solid historical revisionism. It is a documentary talking about a subject that we all learned about in school with the same (more or less) story being given each time the subject was touched upon and with some added complexities once we were in High School. College history majors got an even more detailed version, but at its core it was the same old thing again.

This documentary adds all the details that even the most advanced academic course wouldn’t dare mention. This is not one of those sensationally themed Alex Jones style documentaries that says “forget all that you know” and then claims to show the viewer the actual full picture. No, this is a sober and enlightening look into history. The subject is the African Slave Trade, one of the most heinous, thoroughly premeditated, and longest lasting crimes ever perpetrated on this Earth.

The reader is, by all means, encouraged not to forget everything they know, but to actually keep it in mind so they can see how this information closes many gaps and paints a much fuller picture.

Who Brought the Slaves to America?



This is Part 1 of 6, the rest can be found on YouTube. Also, the film is in its entirety on Google Video.

NOTE: I do not take credit in any way for creating this documentary, I am just promoting it. But that was probably obvious.
