| Synopsis
|
A universal story of loss, courage and triumph, this recounts the
extraordinary journey of Aminata Diallo, an indomitable African woman
who survives in a world in which everything seems to be against her.
Kidnapped by slave traders in West Africa then sold into slavery in
South Carolina, Aminata navigates her way through the American
Revolution in New York, the isolated refuge of Nova Scotia, and the
treacherous jungles of Sierra Leone, before finally securing her
freedom in England.
