January-February Film Challenge: A Film For Every Letter in the Alphabet
Film Eight: A House Divided: Denmark Vesey's Rebellion (1982).
Yaphet Kotto stars in the heartbreaking true story of a free man who cannot buy his wife and son out of slavery and plots a rebellion to help free thousands of slave in South Carolina. I wish we learned more about Denmark Vesey and others like him in school. The film covers many issues surrounding slavery and conditions in America that often go unmentioned today.
