Description of the Film that follows: Ebony-The Last Years of the Atlantic Slave Trade | History Documentary: Slavery is the shared dark side of the history of many nations around the globe. But apart from the accounts of our schoolbooks and some memorable dates, what do we really know about the struggle to put an end to the Atlantic Slave Trade? This story is related in a full drama, by Senegalese feature film director, Moussa Touré, and historian experts. During the second half of the 19th century, slavery and the trade linked to it were theoretically forbidden. The concept of abolitionism was spread out all around the colonies of various empires. However, the slave trade continued and brought even more injustice and violence, in a world at the dawn of a major change. Based on precious archives of different kind – logbooks, letters and diaries, written by slaves, ship-owners, slave-traders or colonists – this documentary gathers numerous voices as witnesses of a sad era. By using the aesthetics and the codes of the fiction, as well as a tangible and creative scenario, this exceptional one-off will become a reference.

SUPPLEMENTAL: Ku Klux Klan – An American Story:

From the description of the Documentary that follows: Ku Klux Klan – An American History: Part 1 | American History Documentary. The Ku Klux Klan is the oldest terrorist group in the United States. This secret society, created in 1865, has survived throughout the decades and has always managed to rise from its ashes. It has been making the news for over 150 years. 150 years of hatred, racism and horror. A cruel history whose demons still haunt America. Part 1: In 1865, a handful of Southern Civil War veterans founded a secret society: the Ku Klux Klan. Very quickly, the Klan instituted a reign of terror among the recently freed black population. Murders and lynchings were common. In Washington, Congress launched an offensive against the invisible empire, which was officially destroyed in 1872. The Ku Klux Klan was reborn in 1915 thanks to the film The Birth of a Nation by D. W. Griffith. Under new leadership, it evolved to fit into an America undergoing major changes and broadened its trade in hatred. The KKK became anti-immigrant, anti-urban, anti-communist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Catholic. Nearly four million Americans joined what would become a highly influential mass lobbying organization. But at the end of the 1920s, scandals and the economic crisis weakened the movement, which eventually disappeared again after the Second World War. (Source: Free Documentary – History)
