Amistad
During the 1800’s America’s economy, especially in the south, depended greatly on slavery. ... This painful and trying journey is very accurately depicted in Stephen Spielberg’s Amistad.
The movie begins in the lower deck of La Amistad which is a Spanish slave ship en route from Havana, Cuba to America. ...
Despite their efforts to return to Africa, the ship is seized by an American vessel and the slaves are taken to America to stand on trail for the murder of La Amistad’s crew. ... Because Amistad was based on a true story, the movie’s portrayal of slavery was very accurate and realistic.
