<i>Arise and take possession

14
00:01:52,833 --> 00:01:56,224
<i>Africans, tied up and kidnapped,</i>

15
00:01:56,541 --> 00:01:58,612

<i>and take possession of your migratory bird.</i>

23
00:02:15,375 --> 00:02:17,935
<i>You, lynched on magnolia trees,</i>

24
00:02:18,208 --> 00:02:20,848
<i>that you dangle from the weeping willows.</i>

25
00:02:21,125 --> 00:02:23,276
<i>Carrion for the vultures,</i>

<i>in the fields of Cuba,</i>

37
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:48,654
<i>in the swamps of Florida,</i>

38
00:02:48,916 --> 00:02:51,556
<i>in the rice fields of South Carolina.</i>

39
00:02:51,833 --> 00:02:54,223

<i>Arise and take possession

00:03:09,125 --> 00:03:11,640

00:03:22,833 --> 00:03:24,745
<i>Castrated, burned,</i>

51
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,275
<i>Tared and spring-loaded,</i>

52
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:27,980
<i>you roasted, chopped ones,</i>

53
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:29,198
<i>Mutilated,</i>

54
00:03:29,416 --> 00:03:30,850
<i>Bound and gagged.</i>

55
00:03:31,083 --> 00:03:33,359
<i>You African spirits!</i>

56
00:03:33,833 --> 00:03:35,313

60
00:03:41,666 --> 00:03:44,864
<i>and take possession of yours</i>

61
00:03:45,333 --> 00:03:47,529
<i>Migratory bird.</i>

62
00:04:02,083 --> 00:04:03,358
Listen!

63
00:04:08,708 --> 00:04:09,937
Listen!

64
00:04:52,708 --> 00:04:54,665
Africa, hear me!

65
00:04:56,708 --> 00:04:58,665
The Almighty created.

66
00:05:01,375 --> 00:05:03,970
He created the one who speaks

67
00:05:06,083 --> 00:05:08,757
the one who drums.

68
00:06:08,833 --> 00:06:10,267
Yes, great!

69
00:06:10,666 --> 00:06:12,259
Good, Mona, keep it up.

70
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:13,934
Perfect!

71
00:06:14,583 --> 00:06:16,222
That's how I like it, Mona.

72
00:06:16,458 --> 00:06:17,653
Great!

73
00:06:17,875 --> 00:06:19,912
You are beautiful!

74
00:06:20,166 --> 00:06:22,158
Great! Stay like that.

75
00:06:22,583 --> 00:06:24,256
Fabulous, Mona!

76
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:25,729
More sex, Mona.

77
00:06:25,958 --> 00:06:27,915
Even more! Great!

78
00:06:28,166 --> 00:06:29,998
Goes back, goes back,

79
00:06:30,250 --> 00:06:32,481
go back where you belong.

80
00:06:35,208 --> 00:06:37,245
Surrender to the camera.

81
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:39,731
Perfect! Good this way.

82
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,275
Get away from the camera

83
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:42,456
get it hot, go!

84
00:06:42,666 --> 00:06:44,100
So, move on.

85
00:06:44,333 --> 00:06:45,767
More movement. Pretty!

86
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,559
Okay, stay like that.

87
00:06:57,583 --> 00:06:59,734
Stay like that. Stay that way!

88
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,753
Okay, now let's move on. Move.

89
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,070
Great.

90
00:07:03,291 --> 00:07:04,566
Come on, more sex.

91
00:07:04,791 --> 00:07:06,020
Very hot now.

92
00:07:06,250 --> 00:07:07,240
Show me, baby.

93
00:07:10,416 --> 00:07:12,885
Great. Really good!

94
00:07:14,166 --> 00:07:15,441
Yes, fabulous.

95
00:07:20,375 --> 00:07:21,331
Keep it up!

96
00:07:22,291 --> 00:07:24,089
Remain. Perfect!

97
00:08:17,916 --> 00:08:18,872
Perfect.

98
00:08:19,083 --> 00:08:20,403
Good, keep it up.

99
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:21,741
Move.

100
00:08:24,250 --> 00:08:25,730
Something more.

101
00:08:27,041 --> 00:08:28,395
Fine, keep this.

102
00:08:28,625 --> 00:08:29,775
Over there

103
00:08:30,416 --> 00:08:32,373
the ships were lined up.

104
00:08:33,458 --> 00:08:36,018
They were waiting for the human cargo.

105
00:08:36,916 --> 00:08:38,396
Not just for this castle,

106
00:08:38,833 --> 00:08:40,426
but for several larger ones

107
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:42,366
along the coast.

108
00:08:42,583 --> 00:08:45,257
Many ships waited for days

109
00:08:45,541 --> 00:08:48,181
until the dungeons in the hull were filled.

110
00:08:48,666 --> 00:08:50,385
over there,

111
00:08:50,875 --> 00:08:53,185
where you see the fishermen...

112
00:08:53,458 --> 00:08:55,814
this is Elmina Castle.

113
00:08:56,083 --> 00:08:57,358
Over there.

114
00:08:58,083 --> 00:08:59,597
Keep it up.

115
00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:16,150
Go back!

116
00:09:20,041 --> 00:09:22,112
Back to your source.

117
00:09:28,041 --> 00:09:29,953
What do you want here?

118
00:09:30,708 --> 00:09:32,028
Where are you from?

119
00:09:33,375 --> 00:09:35,731
This ground is sacred,

120
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,037
covered with the blood of people,

121
00:09:38,291 --> 00:09:39,771
who had to suffer a lot.

122
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,354
Here we were humiliated.

123
00:09:42,041 --> 00:09:44,158
Away with you!

124
00:09:46,041 --> 00:09:48,636
And you, go away!

125
00:09:56,750 --> 00:09:58,981
This ground here is sacred.

126
00:09:59,250 --> 00:10:00,684
Blood was shed here.

127
00:10:02,666 --> 00:10:04,498
This is where we were sold.

128
00:10:04,750 --> 00:10:06,025
To America,

129
00:10:06,708 --> 00:10:08,506
to Trinidad,

130
00:10:08,791 --> 00:10:10,111
to Jamaica.

131
00:10:10,708 --> 00:10:14,258
The white man has our people

132
00:10:14,583 --> 00:10:17,143
brutally torn away from here.

133
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:19,059
Here we were disrespected,

134
00:10:20,708 --> 00:10:23,428
desecrated and humiliated.

135
00:10:23,875 --> 00:10:24,945
Backs away.

136
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:26,805
It is a special soil.

137
00:10:27,375 --> 00:10:29,048
Do you really have to be here?

138
00:10:29,291 --> 00:10:30,725
then be aware:

139
00:10:30,958 --> 00:10:32,108
There was a lot of blood here.

140
00:10:32,708 --> 00:10:34,700
It's okay, get out of here.

141
00:10:35,375 --> 00:10:36,775
Where do you come from?

142
00:10:37,291 --> 00:10:38,486
Please go.

143
00:10:38,833 --> 00:10:40,790
It is enough.
—Go back!

144
00:10:41,291 --> 00:10:42,247
Go away!

145
00:10:42,458 --> 00:10:43,574
It is enough.

146
00:10:43,791 --> 00:10:45,225
Please don't hurt him!

147
00:10:46,750 --> 00:10:48,104
Enough now.

148
00:10:50,708 --> 00:10:52,745
Go back to the source!

149
00:10:56,791 --> 00:10:58,145
This is...

150
00:10:58,500 --> 00:10:59,616
Sankofa.

151
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:03,618
The self-appointed guardian of this castle.

152
00:11:04,458 --> 00:11:08,247
He claims with his drums
to be able to call the spirits of the dead.

153
00:11:08,666 --> 00:11:10,703
Every day he greets you early in the morning

154
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,469
the rising sun with the drums,

155
00:11:13,875 --> 00:11:15,787
right at the foot of the castle.

156
00:11:16,041 --> 00:11:17,873
He casts his net over the sea

157
00:11:18,125 --> 00:11:20,924
and says he draws the spirits of the dead

158
00:11:21,208 --> 00:11:23,677
back across the ocean.

159
00:11:23,958 --> 00:11:26,678
Then, at sunset again,

160
00:11:26,958 --> 00:11:29,314
he looks to the west, drums

161
00:11:29,583 --> 00:11:31,575
and examines his catch.

162
00:11:42,333 --> 00:11:43,289
And here...

163
00:11:44,333 --> 00:11:45,687
Get out of here!

164
00:11:46,083 --> 00:11:48,518
Get away from here! What do you want

165
00:11:48,791 --> 00:11:51,386
what have you lost here?

166
00:11:51,791 --> 00:11:53,145
Leave me alone!

167
00:11:53,375 --> 00:11:56,686
You'll see!

168
00:11:58,041 --> 00:11:58,679
Goes back,

169
00:11:58,875 --> 00:11:59,706
where you come from.

170
00:11:59,916 --> 00:12:01,475
You'll see!

171
00:12:03,958 --> 00:12:05,278
You'll see!

172
00:12:10,083 --> 00:12:11,995
Let me go! Release!

173
00:12:21,875 --> 00:12:25,949
The upper floor was once
the governor's residence.

174
00:12:26,291 --> 00:12:31,525
Here we see the tomb
the governor and his wife.

175
00:12:32,291 --> 00:12:35,284
Right in the center of the castle.

176
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:40,219
Now we're going to the dungeon,

177
00:12:40,458 --> 00:12:42,848
where the slaves were caught
were held.

178
00:12:43,125 --> 00:12:44,605
Please be careful.

179
00:12:45,333 --> 00:12:46,813
It's a bit slippery.

180
00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:31,707
In each of these rooms

181
00:13:31,958 --> 00:13:34,792
thousands of people were crammed in,

182
00:13:35,083 --> 00:13:37,962
until a ship could be filled.

183
00:13:38,625 --> 00:13:41,538
They were kept here. Right here.

184
00:13:43,083 --> 00:13:47,202
And when everything was ready,

185
00:13:47,541 --> 00:13:51,057
went through this long tunnel

186
00:13:51,375 --> 00:13:53,492
straight to the last exit,

187
00:13:53,875 --> 00:13:55,753
where the boats were waiting for them.

188
00:14:01,250 --> 00:14:05,529
Some stayed here longer than a year.

189
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,275
Most of the time it happened

190
00:14:14,958 --> 00:14:16,438
at night.

191
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:20,652
Yes, they were taken out at night!

192
00:14:27,916 --> 00:14:30,351
Of the desperate calls and screams

193
00:14:30,625 --> 00:14:33,584
you can go to the coast
still remember.

194
00:14:37,333 --> 00:14:38,813
Please be careful.

195
00:14:39,916 --> 00:14:42,988
First the Portuguese came
the Swedes, the Dutch

196
00:14:43,291 --> 00:14:46,170
and finally the English.

197
00:15:36,875 --> 00:15:38,104
Wake up!

198
00:15:39,791 --> 00:15:41,020
Wake up!

199
00:16:07,583 --> 00:16:09,302
Wake up!

200
00:16:44,041 --> 00:16:45,316
I want out.

201
00:16:47,875 --> 00:16:50,674
Let me out of here!

202
00:16:50,958 --> 00:16:52,108
Down here!

203
00:17:01,750 --> 00:17:03,423
Wait, wait, wait.

204
00:17:03,750 --> 00:17:06,106
Wait, you're making a mistake!

205
00:17:06,833 --> 00:17:07,983
Stop!

206
00:17:08,208 --> 00:17:09,562
I am not African!

207
00:17:09,791 --> 00:17:10,941
Don't you recognize me?

208
00:17:11,250 --> 00:17:12,206
I'm Mona.

209
00:17:12,458 --> 00:17:13,528
An American.

210
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,390
Don't bring me back in there!

211
00:17:17,833 --> 00:17:19,347
No!

212
00:17:20,250 --> 00:17:21,206
No!

213
00:17:21,833 --> 00:17:23,028
Help!

214
00:17:35,625 --> 00:17:37,582
I am not African!

215
00:17:46,125 --> 00:17:47,445
No!

216
00:17:57,250 --> 00:17:59,321
I am not a slave!

217
00:21:00,125 --> 00:21:01,161
<i>My name is Shola.</i>

218
00:21:02,166 --> 00:21:04,965
<i>I am a house slave
on the Lafayette Plantation.</i>

219
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,992
<i>I grew up with Joe and Lucy
in the mansion</i>

220
00:21:12,250 --> 00:21:14,321
<i>and was raised
to serve the Lafayettes.</i>

221
00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:18,459
<i>You know, if you're like me
you are born a slave,</i>

222
00:21:19,208 --> 00:21:21,928
<i>Is it easier
to accept certain things.</i>

223
00:21:26,625 --> 00:21:29,538
<i>At Lafayette Plantation
there were also people like Nunu...</i>

224
00:21:30,625 --> 00:21:31,695
<i>and Shango.</i>

225
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:34,400
Go ahead!

226
00:21:34,625 --> 00:21:35,581
Forward.

227
00:21:35,791 --> 00:21:37,510
What's going on here?

228
00:22:10,375 --> 00:22:12,651
<i>Shango came from West India</i>

229
00:22:12,916 --> 00:22:16,956
<i>and was sold to the Lafayettes,
because he was a troublemaker.</i>

230
00:22:17,291 --> 00:22:18,520
<i>And I loved him.</i>

231
00:22:20,166 --> 00:22:21,805
<i>Oh, how I loved Shango.</i>

232
00:22:31,916 --> 00:22:33,066
Slowly, Shango.

233
00:22:39,583 --> 00:22:41,017
Take your time.

234
00:22:41,916 --> 00:22:44,795
You eat like you have one
hungry pig in the stomach.

235
00:22:51,708 --> 00:22:53,586
You are a good woman, Shola.

236
00:22:54,083 --> 00:22:55,722
Come on, eat with me.

237
00:23:11,458 --> 00:23:13,609
Now take it slow.

238
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,354
Nobody saw me coming.

239
00:23:16,416 --> 00:23:17,611
None at all.

240
00:23:19,041 --> 00:23:21,237
Are you doing what I ask of you?

241
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:23,059
I have prepared everything.

242
00:23:24,625 --> 00:23:27,299
But Shango, I can't do anything bad.

243
00:23:28,291 --> 00:23:31,728
I think killing is wrong
no matter what they did to me.

244
00:23:32,375 --> 00:23:34,287
Evil? You call that evil?

245
00:23:34,541 --> 00:23:35,657
What's going on here?

246
00:23:35,875 --> 00:23:37,025
day and night?

247
00:23:37,708 --> 00:23:39,222
Isn't that evil?

248
00:23:39,666 --> 00:23:41,100
You won't kill anyone.

249
00:23:41,708 --> 00:23:42,937
You're just hurting them

250
00:23:43,166 --> 00:23:44,282
something in the food.

251
00:23:44,541 --> 00:23:45,736
Don't kill anyone?

252
00:23:46,916 --> 00:23:48,748
Don't you call that killing?

253
00:23:49,916 --> 00:23:52,306
You probably want me to kill everyone.

254
00:23:53,125 --> 00:23:55,401
Not just the Lord and his children,

255
00:23:56,166 --> 00:23:57,122
also Lucy,

256
00:23:57,833 --> 00:23:58,823
Mom...

257
00:23:59,791 --> 00:24:01,589
and Esther? She was teasing me!

258
00:24:02,375 --> 00:24:04,685
That's just the price of freedom.

259
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,673
The closer you are to the white people,

260
00:24:06,916 --> 00:24:08,509
the more often you eat their leftovers...

261
00:24:08,916 --> 00:24:10,270
subjugated until death.

262
00:24:11,125 --> 00:24:12,036
Don't tell them

263
00:24:12,250 --> 00:24:13,809
they shouldn't eat it.

264
00:24:14,041 --> 00:24:16,317
That would give it away to the white people!

265
00:24:16,875 --> 00:24:18,946
Doesn't that affect you too, Shango?

266
00:24:19,375 --> 00:24:21,890
What do you think
do I bring you all the time?

267
00:24:22,166 --> 00:24:23,839
You didn't throw anything away.

268
00:24:42,416 --> 00:24:46,092
<i>Nunu also lives in my memory.</i>

269
00:24:46,875 --> 00:24:49,947
<i>She is full of strength, passion
and tenderness.</i>

270
00:24:50,791 --> 00:24:52,669
<i>Nunu was abducted from Africa.</i>

271
00:24:53,125 --> 00:24:55,720
<i>She lives here with us,</i>

272
00:24:56,416 --> 00:24:59,329
<i>but in spirit she lives
still in her place of birth.</i>

273
00:24:59,625 --> 00:25:01,981
<i>She clings tightly to her homeland.</i>

274
00:25:02,375 --> 00:25:03,331
<i>And Joe,</i>

275
00:25:03,916 --> 00:25:05,828
<i>Her son is a foreman.</i>

276
00:25:06,958 --> 00:25:09,632
<i>He even enjoys the highest level of trust.</i>

277
00:25:13,041 --> 00:25:14,236
That day

278
00:25:14,958 --> 00:25:17,029
Nunu did not submit.

279
00:25:17,375 --> 00:25:19,685
She mumbled something
in their national language.

280
00:25:20,125 --> 00:25:24,358
And nobody,
nobody had a clue

281
00:25:24,708 --> 00:25:26,142
what she was talking about.

282
00:25:26,375 --> 00:25:28,685
She mumbled something under her breath.

283
00:25:29,833 --> 00:25:32,587
Well, if someone murmurs,

284
00:25:33,041 --> 00:25:35,237
then the next one will follow soon

285
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:38,299
and soon everyone in the yard was murmuring.

286
00:25:38,583 --> 00:25:39,983
Everyone muttered the same thing.

287
00:25:40,208 --> 00:25:43,167
It was like a sound, a song.

288
00:25:43,458 --> 00:25:44,608
A choir.

289
00:25:44,833 --> 00:25:47,792
We didn't know what we were saying,

290
00:25:48,083 --> 00:25:49,358
we were gone.

291
00:25:50,625 --> 00:25:53,220
It didn't matter what we said.

292
00:25:53,625 --> 00:25:55,184
Soon it started to work.

293
00:25:55,416 --> 00:25:58,170
Because suddenly the old white man began,

294
00:25:58,541 --> 00:26:00,134
gasping for breath.

295
00:26:00,375 --> 00:26:01,855
He couldn't breathe.

296
00:26:02,458 --> 00:26:04,893
He rolled his eyes.

297
00:26:05,625 --> 00:26:06,900
He choked

298
00:26:07,125 --> 00:26:09,196
almost his tongue.

299
00:26:09,458 --> 00:26:12,451
Foam came out of his mouth.

300
00:26:12,875 --> 00:26:15,788
Yes, foam came out of his mouth!

301
00:26:16,208 --> 00:26:18,803
At the same time, Nunu's power grew stronger.

302
00:26:19,083 --> 00:26:21,518
She noticed and turned to him.

303
00:26:21,791 --> 00:26:25,501
She stared at him
and he started spinning.

304
00:26:28,791 --> 00:26:29,747
What are you doing here?

305
00:26:29,958 --> 00:26:32,678
The only thing you heard
was the old man's gasp.

306
00:26:32,958 --> 00:26:34,631
He panted and panted.

307
00:26:34,875 --> 00:26:36,514
Like he had a chicken bone

308
00:26:36,750 --> 00:26:38,628
stuck in the throat.

309
00:26:38,875 --> 00:26:39,865
Let's go.

310
00:26:40,083 --> 00:26:41,483
No. I want to hear that.

311
00:26:41,708 --> 00:26:43,825
Everyone stared at Nunu,

312
00:26:44,375 --> 00:26:47,288
but she didn't pay any attention to us at all.

313
00:26:47,583 --> 00:26:50,621
She stared at the white man

314
00:26:51,291 --> 00:26:56,286
and he turned and turned.
You've never seen anything like this before.

315
00:26:57,541 --> 00:27:01,501
And I'm telling you, that's what you want
never see it as long as you live.

316
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:06,574
I don't know if the Lord
or the devil got into him,

317
00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:09,401
but there was something in him.

318
00:27:10,458 --> 00:27:11,687
And Nunu...

319
00:27:12,625 --> 00:27:15,140
she just stared at him.

320
00:27:15,458 --> 00:27:17,893
And as he sat there in front of all of us,

321
00:27:18,166 --> 00:27:19,395
became his skin,

322
00:27:19,875 --> 00:27:22,834
yes, everything about him, ashen gray.

323
00:27:26,666 --> 00:27:31,582
And Nunu just stood there,
as if she were the Lord God himself.

324
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,673
The girl just stood there.

325
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:37,492
And the man died.

326
00:27:38,958 --> 00:27:41,598
Right there, leaning against the hut,

327
00:27:41,875 --> 00:27:43,707
he died.

328
00:27:43,958 --> 00:27:45,153
I tell you

329
00:27:45,375 --> 00:27:46,445
for me

330
00:27:46,666 --> 00:27:48,737
was that the real Judgment Day.

331
00:27:49,041 --> 00:27:53,240
We were able to witness
how the white man died under our noses.

332
00:27:54,250 --> 00:27:57,129
Nunu and their language
got it done,

333
00:27:57,416 --> 00:27:59,214
what we asked for.

334
00:27:59,666 --> 00:28:01,942
People here say
it was their native language.

335
00:28:02,666 --> 00:28:05,306
Where do people come from?

336
00:28:05,916 --> 00:28:07,748
Nunu was an Akan.

337
00:28:08,208 --> 00:28:11,167
She constantly talks about her people.

338
00:28:11,666 --> 00:28:13,737
She talks about them all the time.

339
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,037
She is Akanin.

340
00:28:16,583 --> 00:28:18,336
Yes, that's her.

341
00:28:26,625 --> 00:28:29,857
<i>When my master abuses me
and treated badly,</i>

342
00:28:30,458 --> 00:28:32,131
<i>God, let me be like Nunu.</i>

343
00:28:32,416 --> 00:28:37,286
<i>Give me just a little of her strength
in the center of my eyes.</i>

344
00:28:37,958 --> 00:28:41,076
<i>A supervisor through
just staring kills?</i>

345
00:28:49,458 --> 00:28:52,292
<i>If Joe doesn't want her as a mother,
I'll take it.</i>

346
00:29:03,208 --> 00:29:05,086
<i>Joe and I grew
together.</i>

347
00:29:05,666 --> 00:29:09,546
<i>We're even on the same day
baptized by Father Raphael.</i>

348
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,639
<i>Nunu was still so young,</i>

349
00:29:12,875 --> 00:29:15,151
<i>that they are practical
grew up with Joe.</i>

350
00:29:16,250 --> 00:29:17,684
<i>They were completely on their own.</i>

351
00:29:18,958 --> 00:29:23,077
<i>After Joe became overseer,
They couldn't stand each other anymore.</i>

352
00:30:14,791 --> 00:30:16,942
James, you know
what to do.

353
00:30:21,750 --> 00:30:23,070
Now you all belong to me.

354
00:30:23,708 --> 00:30:25,586
I'll make sure you niggers

355
00:30:25,833 --> 00:30:27,631
never leave again.

356
00:30:28,500 --> 00:30:29,980
Get rid of them, Johnson.

357
00:30:31,666 --> 00:30:35,296
<i>Kuta and some others were
caught fleeing into the mountains.</i>

358
00:30:37,125 --> 00:30:40,562
<i>Kuta fled because she had her baby
wanted to give birth in freedom.</i>

359
00:30:42,666 --> 00:30:44,817
<i>Of course she was caught
and brought back.</i>

360
00:30:46,833 --> 00:30:50,110
<i>I always asked Shango
why he doesn't run away.</i>

361
00:30:50,416 --> 00:30:53,648
<i>He said he could his people
don't just leave it behind.</i>

362
00:31:10,750 --> 00:31:11,945
Come on, boy.

363
00:31:13,625 --> 00:31:15,264
Nobody is fooling you.

364
00:31:16,875 --> 00:31:18,309
Hey, Bible boy...

365
00:31:19,125 --> 00:31:21,117
look at the fine lady.

366
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:23,990
Isn't she pretty?

367
00:31:24,791 --> 00:31:25,861
Look at her.

368
00:31:30,250 --> 00:31:33,527
Better worry about your work.

369
00:31:34,125 --> 00:31:36,242
She's crazy about you, Bible boy.

370
00:31:36,791 --> 00:31:38,510
Now forget your Bible.

371
00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:40,662
Enjoy life too,

372
00:31:40,916 --> 00:31:43,226
God doesn't want you to just read all the time.

373
00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:45,617
He wants you to live with it

374
00:31:45,875 --> 00:31:47,912
forget? Not at all!

375
00:31:54,041 --> 00:31:56,317
Lord, forgive him, he doesn't know

376
00:31:56,583 --> 00:31:58,939
that his tongue
is possessed by the devil.

377
00:32:01,083 --> 00:32:02,836
Sister Lucy,

378
00:32:03,208 --> 00:32:04,642
come here.

379
00:32:05,750 --> 00:32:07,981
Please help this boy.

380
00:32:08,833 --> 00:32:10,426
Give it some life.

381
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,196
Stop acting like an animal.

382
00:32:13,791 --> 00:32:16,067
Sometimes you want them, sometimes you don't.

383
00:32:16,333 --> 00:32:18,165
No matter what kind of god you have,

384
00:32:18,416 --> 00:32:20,135
He doesn't like that either.

385
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:27,095
You probably think you are
too pure for her, Bible boy?

386
00:32:36,750 --> 00:32:38,582
Joe, I give you this woman.

387
00:32:40,041 --> 00:32:42,431
Be a real man and be good to her.

388
00:32:43,083 --> 00:32:45,803
Lucy, I give you this man.

389
00:32:46,666 --> 00:32:49,704
Close him in your heart
and be a good wife to him.

390
00:32:51,166 --> 00:32:53,476
The boy is smooth as an eel,

391
00:32:53,750 --> 00:32:55,469
hold him tight.

392
00:32:55,708 --> 00:32:57,700
He changes faster
as a chameleon,

393
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,753
so don't let him out of your sight.

394
00:33:26,166 --> 00:33:26,883
You have Kuta.

395
00:33:27,083 --> 00:33:28,199
We have to do something.

396
00:33:29,416 --> 00:33:31,612
I'm staying out of it.

397
00:33:31,875 --> 00:33:34,185
I'm already in enough trouble.

398
00:33:38,833 --> 00:33:40,825
You'll see.

399
00:33:52,916 --> 00:33:53,906
Joe!

400
00:33:54,125 --> 00:33:55,354
Come here, boy.

401
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:01,934
Sir Master James?

402
00:34:02,166 --> 00:34:03,202
Listen.

403
00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:04,858
Let's have fun.

404
00:34:05,916 --> 00:34:08,715
Leave the black skins
sweat a little blood.

405
00:34:11,333 --> 00:34:16,613
Master James, I can't
whip and count at the same time.

406
00:34:17,916 --> 00:34:19,270
So I got a nigger,

407
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:21,890
which don't count at the same time
and can hit?

408
00:34:23,125 --> 00:34:24,844
All right, smartass.

409
00:34:25,083 --> 00:34:26,073
Noble!

410
00:34:26,916 --> 00:34:27,986
Yes, sir?

411
00:34:29,041 --> 00:34:31,078
Then you do it.

412
00:34:31,708 --> 00:34:32,903
You can't expect

413
00:34:33,125 --> 00:34:34,241
that I do the flogging

414
00:34:34,458 --> 00:34:35,494
always take over alone.

415
00:34:35,708 --> 00:34:39,065
I have two days of fugitives
caught and brought back.

416
00:34:39,458 --> 00:34:41,256
I couldn't do a good job.

417
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:42,775
I'm feeling bad today.

418
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,798
I'm really tired.

419
00:34:46,333 --> 00:34:47,847
I got a tired nigga?

420
00:34:48,083 --> 00:34:49,358
Yes, sir.

421
00:34:49,791 --> 00:34:51,464
Then would you rather count?

422
00:34:52,250 --> 00:34:54,526
You know I can't count.

423
00:34:55,333 --> 00:34:56,449
You know what, boy?

424
00:34:57,166 --> 00:35:00,000
You used to be keen
tearing open black fur.

425
00:35:00,708 --> 00:35:02,267
What's wrong with you?

426
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:04,253
Do you want to be a field nigger?

427
00:35:04,583 --> 00:35:05,733
No, sir.

428
00:35:05,958 --> 00:35:07,950
I'm just not up to speed today.

429
00:35:11,250 --> 00:35:13,287
Boy, I'll tell you what.

430
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,595
From now on, sick or not,

431
00:35:17,625 --> 00:35:19,776
you whip niggers,
until you die.

432
00:35:21,500 --> 00:35:23,492
If you don't do what I say,

433
00:35:23,833 --> 00:35:25,472
I'll be happy to do it myself

434
00:35:26,583 --> 00:35:28,415
tearing open your black fur.

435
00:35:43,250 --> 00:35:44,969
26

436
00:35:50,541 --> 00:35:52,260
27

437
00:35:54,833 --> 00:35:56,153
28

438
00:35:57,500 --> 00:35:58,980
29

439
00:36:02,791 --> 00:36:03,986
30

440
00:36:18,125 --> 00:36:19,798
31

441
00:36:26,958 --> 00:36:28,233
32

442
00:36:36,875 --> 00:36:37,911
33

443
00:36:43,333 --> 00:36:44,483
34

444
00:36:49,041 --> 00:36:50,157
35

445
00:36:57,916 --> 00:36:59,191
36

446
00:37:03,041 --> 00:37:04,395
37

447
00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:10,706
38

448
00:37:14,333 --> 00:37:15,767
39

449
00:37:39,833 --> 00:37:40,823
40

450
00:37:41,041 --> 00:37:42,031
Stop,

451
00:37:42,541 --> 00:37:43,531
Shango!

452
00:37:43,750 --> 00:37:47,027
Stay out of it! Not.

453
00:37:58,375 --> 00:37:59,604
41

454
00:38:01,416 --> 00:38:02,532
42

455
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:05,695
43

456
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,400
44

457
00:38:19,208 --> 00:38:20,847
Get this nigga out of here.

458
00:38:33,583 --> 00:38:34,573
Stop!

459
00:38:37,541 --> 00:38:39,851
It's none of your business, Shango.

460
00:38:40,708 --> 00:38:43,018
They'll kill you.

461
00:38:45,125 --> 00:38:46,639
No, Shango!

462
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:52,854
Stand still!

463
00:38:53,083 --> 00:38:55,473
Not a step further! Get out!

464
00:38:58,083 --> 00:38:59,995
Come on, hit me!

465
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:01,820
Get out!
—Hit me!

466
00:39:02,041 --> 00:39:04,078
Get out of here.

467
00:39:07,625 --> 00:39:11,665
Stop it, she's your mom.
Don't you have any respect for your mom?

468
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:12,990
You lout,

469
00:39:13,250 --> 00:39:15,321
I gave birth to you!

470
00:39:16,666 --> 00:39:18,976
I am your mother.
I carried you,

471
00:39:19,250 --> 00:39:20,400
here in this belly!

472
00:39:20,625 --> 00:39:22,776
I raised you!

473
00:39:23,041 --> 00:39:24,634
I am your mom!

474
00:39:24,875 --> 00:39:26,628
The whole plantation should burn down!

475
00:39:28,291 --> 00:39:29,964
What trouble?

476
00:39:30,375 --> 00:39:32,890
They can never do anything to my soul!

477
00:39:34,250 --> 00:39:37,402
You can never harm my soul!

478
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,037
You are useless.

479
00:39:40,291 --> 00:39:41,884
Only this meat can
do something to them.

480
00:39:42,125 --> 00:39:43,400
Only this meat!

481
00:39:43,708 --> 00:39:45,620
If it weren't for this meat!

482
00:39:45,958 --> 00:39:49,076
This is the only way they have us in their hands.

483
00:39:50,041 --> 00:39:51,714
Because of this meat.

484
00:39:51,958 --> 00:39:53,472
Otherwise we could fly,

485
00:39:54,416 --> 00:39:55,770
swim across the river,

486
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,275
walking on the seabed

487
00:39:57,541 --> 00:39:58,691
and would be home soon.

488
00:39:59,000 --> 00:39:59,990
At home!

489
00:40:03,666 --> 00:40:05,066
We'll be home.

490
00:40:05,791 --> 00:40:06,907
Jumma,

491
00:40:07,500 --> 00:40:08,695
my own son.

492
00:40:09,083 --> 00:40:11,552
He is my son.

493
00:40:12,166 --> 00:40:13,964
Nine months, nine months.

494
00:40:14,208 --> 00:40:16,086
Why me?

495
00:40:17,916 --> 00:40:18,872
No!

496
00:40:19,166 --> 00:40:20,282
No!

497
00:40:20,833 --> 00:40:22,586
Shango, stop it!

498
00:40:23,250 --> 00:40:26,049
They'll kill you, Shango!

499
00:40:26,333 --> 00:40:29,132
Mussa! Stop it! Let me go!

500
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,992
Oh God.

501
00:40:37,250 --> 00:40:38,445
They're killing him!

502
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,150
They kill him.

503
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,514
Get up, you nigger bastard!

504
00:40:50,125 --> 00:40:51,559
Take him away.

505
00:41:36,791 --> 00:41:37,668
A mother!

506
00:41:37,875 --> 00:41:40,151
A mother with a child!

507
00:41:40,750 --> 00:41:42,230
Warrior! Savior of our people?

508
00:41:42,458 --> 00:41:43,858
Someone among us is suffering!

509
00:41:44,125 --> 00:41:45,957
Let's go to Akyemfo,

510
00:41:46,333 --> 00:41:49,132
whom we go to in times of need.

511
00:41:49,583 --> 00:41:51,176
It's time to rise up.

512
00:41:51,416 --> 00:41:54,090
A mother walks with her child.

513
00:41:54,708 --> 00:41:58,099
Cobra! We are not afraid

514
00:41:58,500 --> 00:42:01,140
before the devil.

515
00:42:01,416 --> 00:42:04,572
We are not afraid

516
00:42:04,916 --> 00:42:07,988
before the devil.

517
00:42:08,416 --> 00:42:09,850
The day will come when

518
00:42:10,083 --> 00:42:13,394
men become women.

519
00:42:14,041 --> 00:42:15,077
Oh, mother of all mothers,

520
00:42:15,291 --> 00:42:15,929
Nana Konadu!

521
00:42:16,125 --> 00:42:17,479
The baby must not die.

522
00:42:18,750 --> 00:42:20,423
Warrior! Shard

523
00:42:20,666 --> 00:42:22,180
you behind me.

524
00:42:45,458 --> 00:42:46,687
Almighty, guide me.

525
00:42:46,916 --> 00:42:47,747
I never did this before,

526
00:42:47,958 --> 00:42:48,835
but it happened.

527
00:42:50,083 --> 00:42:50,994
Oh Holy Mother,

528
00:42:51,208 --> 00:42:52,278
you can't have a child

529
00:42:52,500 --> 00:42:53,331
let go like this,

530
00:42:53,541 --> 00:42:54,816
oh generous mother.

531
00:43:30,791 --> 00:43:32,589
Almighty Spirit, thank you.

532
00:43:32,833 --> 00:43:33,949
Thank you, Nana Konadu,

533
00:43:34,166 --> 00:43:35,156
our spirit mother,

534
00:43:35,458 --> 00:43:36,574
that you give me this baby

535
00:43:36,791 --> 00:43:37,508
safely handed over.

536
00:43:37,750 --> 00:43:38,820
I call it Kwame Abandsi.

537
00:43:53,583 --> 00:43:54,812
Shola!

538
00:44:08,166 --> 00:44:11,079
<i>Some nights
I sneaked out of the mansion

539
00:44:11,375 --> 00:44:13,412
<i>and ran like children to Nunu,</i>

540
00:44:13,666 --> 00:44:15,737
<i>to hear fairy tales from their homeland.</i>

541
00:44:16,791 --> 00:44:19,989
<i>The stories of the hedgehogs
and the hedgehog girl,</i>

542
00:44:20,583 --> 00:44:22,575
<i>which Nunu called Afriye.</i>

543
00:44:25,041 --> 00:44:27,840
Great hunter,

544
00:44:28,125 --> 00:44:30,162
We love you for your soup.

545
00:44:30,416 --> 00:44:35,013
Your soup is always full
large pieces of meat from the bush.

546
00:44:35,541 --> 00:44:38,295
But we don't like to see you
in your red robe,

547
00:44:38,583 --> 00:44:40,939
that is stained with blood.

548
00:44:42,041 --> 00:44:43,475
In this village

549
00:44:44,916 --> 00:44:47,829
lived a very young,

550
00:44:48,833 --> 00:44:50,825
pretty Kokoto girl.

551
00:44:52,750 --> 00:44:55,185
Her name was Afriye.

552
00:44:57,875 --> 00:44:59,309
They were all hedgehogs.

553
00:45:00,208 --> 00:45:01,198
Afriye,

554
00:45:02,916 --> 00:45:05,590
she loved her family very much.

555
00:45:05,958 --> 00:45:07,950
Especially her brother.

556
00:45:08,750 --> 00:45:10,423
Her mother, Abnehru,

557
00:45:10,666 --> 00:45:12,817
was a powerful medicine woman.

558
00:45:13,083 --> 00:45:15,473
She prepared strong medicine

559
00:45:15,750 --> 00:45:17,230
from roots,

560
00:45:17,583 --> 00:45:18,699
Plants...

561
00:45:19,958 --> 00:45:22,632
from beetles, leaves and herbs.

562
00:45:23,250 --> 00:45:24,809
She had great strength

563
00:45:25,666 --> 00:45:28,340
and saved many
villagers' lives.

564
00:45:28,625 --> 00:45:31,345
Anyone who was sick, whether it was the head,

565
00:45:31,625 --> 00:45:33,344
the leg or the stomach was,

566
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,640
Abnehru was there and
had the right means.

567
00:45:40,916 --> 00:45:44,705
The father was also a great warrior,

568
00:45:45,083 --> 00:45:47,234
a very strong man.

569
00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:49,787
Every time there was war

570
00:45:50,583 --> 00:45:54,179
he moved to the front and
came back unharmed.

571
00:45:56,416 --> 00:45:59,170
When Afriye was born,

572
00:45:59,458 --> 00:46:01,973
he knew that the little girl

573
00:46:02,250 --> 00:46:04,890
something special for once.

574
00:46:05,708 --> 00:46:08,860
So he named her Afriye.

575
00:46:10,250 --> 00:46:13,766
Arfiye means especially,

576
00:46:14,583 --> 00:46:17,735
someone born to see.

577
00:46:18,875 --> 00:46:22,505
That's why she was given the name Afriye.

578
00:46:23,250 --> 00:46:25,560
And the whole family loved

579
00:46:26,083 --> 00:46:27,802
and protected her.

580
00:48:45,750 --> 00:48:48,060
Who does this child belong to?

581
00:48:48,666 --> 00:48:50,976
It is mother Abena's child.

582
00:48:52,375 --> 00:48:54,173
Should we put you under the palm tree?

583
00:48:54,416 --> 00:48:56,772
There are many thorns under the palm tree.

584
00:48:57,125 --> 00:48:59,117
Or under the silk tree?

585
00:48:59,458 --> 00:49:01,654
Silk will fall on my baby.

586
00:49:10,083 --> 00:49:11,483
How is the child?

587
00:49:11,708 --> 00:49:13,779
He is a strong little man.

588
00:49:14,541 --> 00:49:16,180
He will come through.

589
00:49:16,458 --> 00:49:17,938
Everyone will get through.

590
00:49:20,250 --> 00:49:21,969
Many children are angry with him,

591
00:49:22,208 --> 00:49:24,439
because their mothers also give him the breast.

592
00:49:25,875 --> 00:49:28,515
I admire you for that,
what you did.

593
00:49:28,916 --> 00:49:31,556
No. I didn't do anything.

594
00:49:32,791 --> 00:49:35,625
This place makes you
to do everything possible.

595
00:49:37,791 --> 00:49:39,544
I was scared and nervous.

596
00:49:41,375 --> 00:49:42,775
It's true.

597
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,391
I have helped many mothers
to bring their children into the world.

598
00:49:47,041 --> 00:49:49,761
But this one was special.

599
00:49:51,125 --> 00:49:52,479
Anyway,

600
00:49:53,166 --> 00:49:55,283
you are very special.

601
00:50:08,416 --> 00:50:10,692
Well, I don't know what to do.

602
00:50:15,291 --> 00:50:17,601
I know, I already told you that.

603
00:50:18,750 --> 00:50:22,824
You wouldn't believe me
if I said I wished I was dead.

604
00:50:23,500 --> 00:50:27,574
But Nunu, I tell you
I feel terrible about Kuta.

605
00:50:36,333 --> 00:50:40,122
This child reminds me
how my mother was sold.

606
00:50:41,916 --> 00:50:44,351
I said to myself: Okay,

607
00:50:45,375 --> 00:50:48,766
one day I'll be free
and find her, no matter where she is.

608
00:50:51,541 --> 00:50:52,941
Now I'm stuck.

609
00:50:54,041 --> 00:50:58,160
Instead of finding my own mom,
I took someone's mom.

610
00:50:59,125 --> 00:51:01,321
Kuta is gone forever.

611
00:51:32,416 --> 00:51:33,452
Of course

612
00:51:35,500 --> 00:51:38,732
we see him here on the cross.

613
00:51:40,375 --> 00:51:42,128
Nailed to the cross.

614
00:51:44,666 --> 00:51:46,259
For you and for me, Joe.

615
00:51:46,875 --> 00:51:48,548
For our sins.

616
00:51:54,666 --> 00:51:55,702
Joe, the strong one.

617
00:51:57,833 --> 00:52:01,065
You have to get out of this terrible place
Make the best of the situation.

618
00:52:02,041 --> 00:52:03,157
Believe me,

619
00:52:03,958 --> 00:52:05,915
you have to do something.

620
00:52:06,291 --> 00:52:10,649
You can't be a supervisor
without causing harm to your own people.

621
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,559
I know.

622
00:52:14,458 --> 00:52:17,496
I'm going crazy here.

623
00:52:17,875 --> 00:52:20,265
I can't stand this any longer.

624
00:52:22,125 --> 00:52:24,924
Don't you think I'm tired of it

625
00:52:25,583 --> 00:52:27,734
to be a monster, mean and evil?

626
00:52:28,250 --> 00:52:30,446
Do you think I'm not sick of it,

627
00:52:30,708 --> 00:52:33,621
to be overseer and
to bear the entire burden?

628
00:52:34,416 --> 00:52:37,375
I almost went crazy
couldn't control myself.

629
00:52:39,125 --> 00:52:42,835
That I couldn't say no,
broke me.

630
00:52:46,875 --> 00:52:48,594
It never used to bother me.

631
00:52:51,125 --> 00:52:53,356
Now all these eyes are staring at me.

632
00:52:55,125 --> 00:52:56,923
Eyes that wait

633
00:52:57,166 --> 00:53:00,125
that I someone
do something terrible.

634
00:53:01,833 --> 00:53:03,472
My own people

635
00:53:03,750 --> 00:53:06,265
is killing me, all these field niggers

636
00:53:06,541 --> 00:53:09,215
finish me off
with her staring eyes.

637
00:53:09,958 --> 00:53:12,234
They torment me day and night.

638
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,232
They're driving me crazy.

639
00:53:22,833 --> 00:53:25,029
You can do something about it.

640
00:53:26,541 --> 00:53:29,534
Pull yourself together and say no.

641
00:53:31,125 --> 00:53:35,165
Either you are a man
or a beast.

642
00:54:07,458 --> 00:54:09,768
One day they'll kill you.

643
00:54:10,875 --> 00:54:12,514
You know that, right?

644
00:54:17,708 --> 00:54:19,142
Shango...

645
00:54:21,166 --> 00:54:23,044
Why don't you just obey?

646
00:54:23,583 --> 00:54:25,415
It's not that difficult.

647
00:54:27,916 --> 00:54:28,872
You...

648
00:54:30,875 --> 00:54:32,309
You know

649
00:54:35,166 --> 00:54:38,000
that I'm worried to death
because of your behavior.

650
00:54:40,750 --> 00:54:42,423
You've lost so much blood.

651
00:54:49,166 --> 00:54:50,725
Shango, you have to...

652
00:55:04,458 --> 00:55:06,177
Why are you doing this to me?

653
00:55:10,625 --> 00:55:12,821
It's not your business.

654
00:55:13,250 --> 00:55:16,004
You because of a fugitive
to be shot!

655
00:55:16,291 --> 00:55:17,691
It's none of your business.

656
00:55:18,708 --> 00:55:22,099
You can't fight for everyone.
You are just an individual.

657
00:55:22,583 --> 00:55:25,860
They'll still kill you.

658
00:55:31,041 --> 00:55:33,078
Don't you ever think of me?

659
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,913
Don't you ever think about it
Take me away from here, Shango?

660
00:55:37,375 --> 00:55:38,968
Where should I take you?

661
00:55:39,500 --> 00:55:40,775
Where do you want to go?

662
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,516
Don't you see my turn?

663
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,719
Shola, why are you

664
00:55:47,958 --> 00:55:49,711
not like us?

665
00:55:49,958 --> 00:55:51,278
Why don't you crawl

666
00:55:51,500 --> 00:55:53,173
like a snake on its stomach

667
00:55:53,416 --> 00:55:55,248
through the trees and grass?

668
00:55:55,583 --> 00:55:58,781
One day we'll eat frogs.

669
00:55:59,083 --> 00:56:00,563
That's the only way

670
00:56:00,791 --> 00:56:01,622
into freedom.

671
00:56:01,833 --> 00:56:03,506
Eating frogs.

672
00:56:03,750 --> 00:56:05,582
The snake eats everything,

673
00:56:05,833 --> 00:56:07,950
what the frog has in its stomach.

674
00:56:11,916 --> 00:56:13,908
Can't you talk rationally?

675
00:56:14,708 --> 00:56:15,744
I'm a man!

676
00:56:15,958 --> 00:56:19,634
Everyone knows that. Now they're learning you
know as a tender man.

677
00:56:20,708 --> 00:56:23,382
There's no shame
to be tender.

678
00:56:24,333 --> 00:56:25,449
Furthermore...

679
00:56:26,041 --> 00:56:27,680
it's a special baby.

680
00:56:28,250 --> 00:56:30,287
Everyone knows why it's here,

681
00:56:30,791 --> 00:56:33,943
and everyone has to take care of it.

682
00:56:35,125 --> 00:56:36,923
That was Kuta's last wish.

683
00:56:38,583 --> 00:56:41,303
This child was not born naturally.

684
00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:45,253
If it's big,

685
00:56:46,875 --> 00:56:48,946
will tell about this place.

686
00:56:51,708 --> 00:56:55,418
It will be able to testify more
than any adult here.

687
00:56:57,750 --> 00:57:00,743
I still wish
have your own baby with you.

688
00:57:02,333 --> 00:57:04,893
You know that I don't
can sleep with you.

689
00:57:05,291 --> 00:57:06,520
You are overseer.

690
00:57:07,958 --> 00:57:09,278
All my life

691
00:57:10,333 --> 00:57:14,122
were and remain
Trust slaves my nightmare.

692
00:57:15,041 --> 00:57:19,001
I am from my own people
abandoned and sold.

693
00:57:19,416 --> 00:57:21,055
They acted as overseers.

694
00:57:21,291 --> 00:57:24,568
And to this day there are overseers
my nightmare.

695
00:57:25,333 --> 00:57:28,531
You'd better forget about me.

696
00:57:29,083 --> 00:57:31,996
I'll never lie down next to you,

697
00:57:32,416 --> 00:57:35,727
as long as you are overseer of the whites.

698
00:57:36,041 --> 00:57:37,236
Seriously.

699
00:57:38,916 --> 00:57:40,873
<i>You could feel it in the manor house</i>

700
00:57:41,125 --> 00:57:43,117
<i>how the whites became restless,</i>

701
00:57:43,375 --> 00:57:46,209
<i>if they deal with riots
the field workers calculated.</i>

702
00:57:46,583 --> 00:57:47,619
<i>But you know what?</i>

703
00:57:47,833 --> 00:57:50,632
<i>There was always unrest
when you least expected them.</i>

704
00:57:50,916 --> 00:57:54,353
<i>After a day of work that seemed calm,
I don't know how,</i>

705
00:57:54,708 --> 00:57:56,347
<i>the field slaves rose up</i>

706
00:57:56,583 --> 00:57:57,937
<i>and burned everything down.</i>

707
00:57:58,541 --> 00:58:01,215
<i>I believe Shango, Nunu,
Jumma and even Mussa</i>

708
00:58:01,708 --> 00:58:03,665
<i>belonged to the secret society.</i>

709
00:58:04,875 --> 00:58:07,071
<i>I even think
they were the leaders.</i>

710
00:58:07,458 --> 00:58:08,778
<i>Sneaking at night</i>

711
00:58:09,416 --> 00:58:11,567
<i>they are in caves, around field workers</i>

712
00:58:11,958 --> 00:58:14,427
<i>from neighboring plantations</i>

713
00:58:14,708 --> 00:58:17,064
<i>and even the free ones in the mountains.</i>

714
00:58:17,333 --> 00:58:19,211
<i>These people were
fled to the hills</i>

715
00:58:19,458 --> 00:58:21,097
<i>and lived there as free people.</i>

716
00:58:21,333 --> 00:58:24,053
<i>Of course they never have
told the house slaves.</i>

717
00:58:24,333 --> 00:58:25,813
<i>They didn't trust us.</i>

718
00:58:26,625 --> 00:58:29,185
<i>They didn't even trust each other.</i>

719
00:58:30,250 --> 00:58:31,969
<i>Not just field workers,</i>

720
00:58:32,208 --> 00:58:34,359
<i>some supervisors were also there.</i>

721
00:58:34,750 --> 00:58:38,664
<i>During the day, Mussa played the overseer,</i>

722
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:43,119
<i>but at night he planned
the field workers started the uprising.</i>

723
00:58:44,083 --> 00:58:46,598
<i>Only the select few knew.</i>

724
00:58:46,875 --> 00:58:49,071
<i>They sneaked away,
while the others</i>

725
00:58:49,333 --> 00:58:51,052
<i>danced and feasted.</i>

726
00:59:17,541 --> 00:59:20,181
<i>The tension in the mansion was palpable.</i>

727
00:59:20,458 --> 00:59:23,735
<i>The more the field workers whispered,
the worse the gentleman slept.</i>

728
00:59:24,041 --> 00:59:27,478
<i>and the less he slept,
the more I got.</i>

729
00:59:27,791 --> 00:59:29,783
<i>He took out his frustration on me.</i>

730
01:00:44,791 --> 01:00:46,987
Welcome, welcome.

731
01:00:47,416 --> 01:00:50,011
Welcome, hug me.

732
01:00:52,041 --> 01:00:55,398
Dauntless men.

733
01:00:55,708 --> 01:00:57,984
Thank you all.

734
01:00:58,708 --> 01:01:00,586
Good news from the mountains.

735
01:01:00,833 --> 01:01:03,109
Since our last meeting

736
01:01:03,375 --> 01:01:06,652
we were able to give birth

737
01:01:06,958 --> 01:01:09,234
of 17 children celebrate.

738
01:01:09,500 --> 01:01:10,934
17 children?

739
01:01:13,041 --> 01:01:14,191
17!

740
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:17,036
Ten girls,

741
01:01:17,541 --> 01:01:19,373
seven boys.

742
01:01:24,708 --> 01:01:25,664
We have

743
01:01:25,875 --> 01:01:29,186
ten machetes...

744
01:01:29,583 --> 01:01:30,699
eight pitchforks,

745
01:01:36,041 --> 01:01:38,636
seven hoes.

746
01:01:40,041 --> 01:01:41,521
We just need it

747
01:01:41,833 --> 01:01:43,347
seeds.

748
01:01:46,375 --> 01:01:47,365
seeds.

749
01:01:48,708 --> 01:01:49,983
We want you here

750
01:01:50,250 --> 01:01:51,525
say that we you

751
01:01:54,041 --> 01:01:55,475
one after the other

752
01:01:55,708 --> 01:01:57,381
take to the mountains.

753
01:02:02,041 --> 01:02:03,361
We know

754
01:02:03,583 --> 01:02:05,142
how you suffer down here.

755
01:02:05,375 --> 01:02:07,287
In the mountains we worship

756
01:02:07,541 --> 01:02:09,134
our own God.

757
01:02:09,375 --> 01:02:11,810
You have to go down here

758
01:02:12,083 --> 01:02:16,521
serve the God of the white people.

759
01:02:27,375 --> 01:02:31,688
The matter must remain secret.

760
01:02:32,041 --> 01:02:33,191
We are one people, we

761
01:02:33,416 --> 01:02:35,772
pick one by one,

762
01:02:36,083 --> 01:02:37,358
until we all

763
01:02:37,625 --> 01:02:39,344
are united in the mountains,

764
01:02:39,583 --> 01:02:40,699
where you are free.

765
01:02:44,916 --> 01:02:46,111
Everyone is free.

766
01:02:52,708 --> 01:02:54,028
Twooboi! Warrior!

767
01:02:54,250 --> 01:02:55,206
Rise up!

768
01:02:55,458 --> 01:02:56,892
We rise!

769
01:02:57,125 --> 01:02:58,718
The snake

770
01:03:00,041 --> 01:03:02,317
should get everything,

771
01:03:02,583 --> 01:03:04,620
what's in the frog's stomach.

772
01:03:24,375 --> 01:03:27,288
<i>At that time soldiers and guards came
from neighboring plantations</i>

773
01:03:27,583 --> 01:03:29,859
<i>and put down the uprising.</i>

774
01:03:30,125 --> 01:03:34,836
<i>The sky glowed red like fire.
There was smoke everywhere.</i>

775
01:03:35,625 --> 01:03:38,299
<i>Were kilometers away
the sugar cane fields in ashes.</i>

776
01:03:40,791 --> 01:03:45,104
<i>Then they gathered the workers together.
I prayed for Nunu and Shango.</i>

777
01:03:46,291 --> 01:03:49,045
<i>But they couldn't determine
who took part in everything,</i>

778
01:03:49,333 --> 01:03:51,165
<i>because the field slaves held tight.</i>

779
01:03:51,833 --> 01:03:56,510
<i>So they picked out a handful,
to set an example.</i>

780
01:03:57,541 --> 01:04:00,420
<i>In front of everyone's eyes they were</i>

781
01:04:00,708 --> 01:04:02,665
<i>squeezed into narrow wooden cages</i>

782
01:04:02,916 --> 01:04:06,626
<i>and pulled up into the trees...
as food for the vultures.</i>

783
01:04:07,416 --> 01:04:10,056
<i>Their screams still echo
in my head.</i>

784
01:04:11,458 --> 01:04:14,098
<i>They hung up there for days,
until they died...</i>

785
01:04:14,375 --> 01:04:15,934
<i>one at a time.</i>

786
01:04:18,041 --> 01:04:19,236
<i>Shango was lucky,</i>

787
01:04:19,875 --> 01:04:23,505
<i>for that night he was
still in the dungeon.</i>

788
01:04:24,416 --> 01:04:25,532
<i>But now</i>

789
01:04:26,375 --> 01:04:27,729
<i>was less lucky.</i>

790
01:04:28,708 --> 01:04:30,267
I'm not going! Let me!

791
01:04:34,166 --> 01:04:35,520
Where are you taking Nunu?

792
01:04:35,750 --> 01:04:37,787
Hey, you won't sell them!

793
01:04:38,041 --> 01:04:40,078
Nobody will sell them!

794
01:04:40,333 --> 01:04:43,883
Nobody is taking Nunu away from here!

795
01:04:46,541 --> 01:04:48,533
Come on.

796
01:04:48,791 --> 01:04:49,986
Nobody touches Nunu.

797
01:04:50,208 --> 01:04:52,006
Nobody takes them away.

798
01:04:52,333 --> 01:04:53,323
No, Mussa!

799
01:04:53,541 --> 01:04:55,373
Nobody takes her away from here.

800
01:04:55,625 --> 01:04:57,264
Do you hear me? No one!

801
01:04:59,083 --> 01:05:02,281
Don't do anything nonsense!

802
01:05:03,500 --> 01:05:04,616
They kill you.

803
01:05:06,416 --> 01:05:07,736
Be reasonable.

804
01:05:09,041 --> 01:05:11,192
Nobu, I'll be back.

805
01:05:17,416 --> 01:05:18,896
I'm coming back.

806
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:25,878
Be wise.

807
01:05:27,250 --> 01:05:28,604
You know what to do.

808
01:05:31,125 --> 01:05:32,605
You know what to do.

809
01:05:40,208 --> 01:05:41,483
Oh, leave me alone!

810
01:05:41,708 --> 01:05:42,778
Let me!

811
01:05:49,416 --> 01:05:50,566
What's going on here?

812
01:05:52,791 --> 01:05:54,987
I'm talking to you, boy.

813
01:05:59,958 --> 01:06:01,915
Everything's okay, Master James.

814
01:06:02,708 --> 01:06:04,028
Everything OK.

815
01:06:04,666 --> 01:06:05,782
Just a woman.

816
01:06:06,291 --> 01:06:07,566
Nothing of importance.

817
01:06:08,250 --> 01:06:10,719
Everything OK.
There are enough women here.

818
01:06:11,833 --> 01:06:13,062
Everything OK.

819
01:06:14,666 --> 01:06:15,782
Everything OK.

820
01:06:17,125 --> 01:06:18,161
I hope so.

821
01:06:19,416 --> 01:06:20,486
Everything OK.

822
01:06:20,708 --> 01:06:23,621
<i>It was finally time for Noble Ali.</i>

823
01:06:24,083 --> 01:06:26,393
<i>He was ripe, as Nunu would say.</i>

824
01:06:26,875 --> 01:06:29,265
<i>The day they sold Nunu,</i>

825
01:06:29,541 --> 01:06:32,693
<i>they finished him off.</i>

826
01:06:33,041 --> 01:06:36,113
<i>During the day he laughed and
seemed loyal to the Lord,</i>

827
01:06:36,416 --> 01:06:38,248
<i>but at night he met,
just like Mussa,</i>

828
01:06:38,500 --> 01:06:40,298
<i>with the others in a secret society.</i>

829
01:06:42,375 --> 01:06:44,332
Nunu!

830
01:06:46,041 --> 01:06:48,397
Where are you taking Nunu?

831
01:06:57,291 --> 01:06:58,930
You are not allowed to sell Nunu!

832
01:07:59,166 --> 01:08:00,122
Joe!

833
01:08:01,833 --> 01:08:02,789
Joe!

834
01:08:04,708 --> 01:08:06,586
They're selling your mom, Joe!

835
01:08:07,041 --> 01:08:08,714
Joe, they're taking Nunu away!

836
01:08:10,083 --> 01:08:12,154
Come help me, you coward!

837
01:08:12,416 --> 01:08:14,055
I know you're there.

838
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,320
You coward!

839
01:08:17,708 --> 01:08:19,267
They're taking your mom away!

840
01:08:19,875 --> 01:08:22,709
They're taking Nunu away!

841
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:14,992
Go ahead! Get to work!

842
01:09:35,125 --> 01:09:37,720
Tonight to the cave.

843
01:09:49,666 --> 01:09:54,218
Go! Movement! Get to work!

844
01:09:57,208 --> 01:09:58,961
Get to work! Will it be soon?

845
01:10:15,750 --> 01:10:17,104
She is resurrected

846
01:10:17,333 --> 01:10:18,687
from the dead.

847
01:10:19,791 --> 01:10:21,942
Praised and crowned with glory,

848
01:10:22,666 --> 01:10:26,421
she became over the choirs of angels
of heaven raised.

849
01:10:28,208 --> 01:10:29,278
Later...

850
01:10:29,500 --> 01:10:33,176
she was sanctified and
elected Queen of Heaven.

851
01:10:34,750 --> 01:10:38,824
You see, Joe, our Holy Queen,

852
01:10:39,625 --> 01:10:41,059
the Virgin Mary,

853
01:10:41,666 --> 01:10:45,296
was taken to the heavenly bridal chamber
led.

854
01:10:46,666 --> 01:10:49,864
The King of Kings sits there
on his throne.

855
01:11:08,708 --> 01:11:10,506
They couldn't sell me!

856
01:11:11,416 --> 01:11:12,645
And don't buy me!

857
01:11:13,500 --> 01:11:15,537
I'm too old for the white people.

858
01:11:18,625 --> 01:11:20,981
I'm so happy,
to see you, Nunu.

859
01:11:22,875 --> 01:11:24,594
A big white guy

860
01:11:24,833 --> 01:11:26,187
in the market square

861
01:11:26,416 --> 01:11:27,486
stood there,

862
01:11:27,875 --> 01:11:28,865
looked at me:

863
01:11:29,375 --> 01:11:32,049
“It’s not even good for sale.”

864
01:11:37,458 --> 01:11:40,496
I'm too old to be sold,

865
01:11:40,791 --> 01:11:42,544
too old to buy.

866
01:11:44,291 --> 01:11:46,010
I'm so happy to see you

867
01:11:48,458 --> 01:11:50,211
I told you I'd be back.

868
01:11:50,500 --> 01:11:52,014
You didn't believe me.

869
01:11:53,125 --> 01:11:54,275
Here I am.

870
01:11:55,041 --> 01:11:57,795
<i>Father Raphael told me,
I should keep praying.</i>

871
01:11:58,166 --> 01:12:02,479
<i>Told me about punishment while
my master continued to abuse me.</i>

872
01:12:03,250 --> 01:12:05,526
<i>It didn't make any sense.</i>

873
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,993
<i>The more I prayed,
the meaner my master became.</i>

874
01:12:09,333 --> 01:12:10,813
<i>Praying was of no use,</i>

875
01:12:11,500 --> 01:12:13,253
<i>so I stopped completely.</i>

876
01:12:15,458 --> 01:12:17,131
<i>I felt guilty,</i>

877
01:12:17,375 --> 01:12:20,288
<i>even though I knew
that it wasn't true.</i>

878
01:12:22,625 --> 01:12:25,185
<i>After that I fell from grace.</i>

879
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:05,195
Father...

880
01:13:06,041 --> 01:13:08,681
Joe, the strong one.
What can I do for you?

881
01:13:10,541 --> 01:13:11,816
It's about Nunu.

882
01:13:13,250 --> 01:13:17,802
Mention the name of this pagan
Negro woman not in my church.

883
01:13:18,666 --> 01:13:20,976
She just doesn't like our God.

884
01:13:22,041 --> 01:13:24,556
I sense that in her, Father.

885
01:13:25,666 --> 01:13:30,741
I'm afraid she wants to poison me,
the way she always looks at me.

886
01:13:32,625 --> 01:13:34,856
I don't know what to do.

887
01:13:39,291 --> 01:13:40,964
Are you resisting it?

888
01:13:41,833 --> 01:13:44,189
I fight against it violently.

889
01:13:45,958 --> 01:13:47,517
Very violent, Father.

890
01:13:51,125 --> 01:13:52,161
There we have it.

891
01:13:53,416 --> 01:13:54,896
There we have it, son.

892
01:13:56,208 --> 01:13:58,165
The devil is in her, my son.

893
01:13:59,333 --> 01:14:01,370
Fight them to the last.

894
01:14:02,333 --> 01:14:05,053
Father, you know
that I isolate myself.

895
01:14:05,916 --> 01:14:08,067
I stay away from the others.

896
01:14:08,458 --> 01:14:11,178
Most of the time I read the Bible,
you know that.

897
01:14:12,791 --> 01:14:14,225
Everyone knows

898
01:14:15,333 --> 01:14:16,562
that I am different.

899
01:14:18,916 --> 01:14:20,555
Well, you're different.

900
01:14:23,041 --> 01:14:25,920
Joe, let's do it
a pretty brown baby.

901
01:15:07,083 --> 01:15:08,073
Father,

902
01:15:09,958 --> 01:15:11,233
tell me

903
01:15:13,083 --> 01:15:14,483
whose son am I?

904
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,550
We are all His sons, my son.

905
01:15:29,416 --> 01:15:30,406
We all have

906
01:15:31,208 --> 01:15:32,198
a father,

907
01:15:33,291 --> 01:15:34,327
the Almighty.

908
01:16:28,583 --> 01:16:31,860
Place never like that again
into my house, you heathen!

909
01:16:33,708 --> 01:16:35,904
I'm the crazy one, Joe,

910
01:16:36,666 --> 01:16:38,385
to force myself on you!

911
01:16:39,708 --> 01:16:41,188
I'm crazy,

912
01:16:41,416 --> 01:16:43,726
me because of a dead person
to make fun of!

913
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,231
You're not a man, Joe,

914
01:16:46,833 --> 01:16:48,552
you are nothing.

915
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:51,719
You're nobody, Joe.

916
01:16:52,500 --> 01:16:53,616
What are you missing?

917
01:16:54,166 --> 01:16:55,885
Am I not woman enough?

918
01:16:56,333 --> 01:16:59,326
Am I not woman enough?
Do you need my breasts?

919
01:16:59,666 --> 01:17:02,545
or the cursed one
Virgin Mary herself?

920
01:17:04,333 --> 01:17:05,733
You probably think you're...

921
01:17:08,958 --> 01:17:09,914
Lucy!

922
01:17:10,833 --> 01:17:13,428
What's gotten into Joe?
that he pushes you into the mud?

923
01:17:13,708 --> 01:17:15,700
Shola! What am I missing?

924
01:17:16,125 --> 01:17:17,639
Am I not good enough?

925
01:17:18,166 --> 01:17:19,395
Am I not good enough?

926
01:17:20,041 --> 01:17:21,953
It's not you, Lucy,

927
01:17:22,208 --> 01:17:26,680
Joe has lost his mind.
I told you, forget him!

928
01:17:28,708 --> 01:17:31,462
You think you're better,
because you are mulatto.

929
01:17:31,750 --> 01:17:32,786
A gift from God?

930
01:17:39,125 --> 01:17:41,003
Forgive me, I have sinned.

931
01:17:51,875 --> 01:17:53,548
Come on, Lucy. Tell him.

932
01:17:56,416 --> 01:17:57,645
Shango...

933
01:17:58,500 --> 01:18:02,289
If I don't get a hair from him,
then especially not a fingernail.

934
01:18:06,125 --> 01:18:07,844
Do something, Shango.

935
01:18:09,333 --> 01:18:12,531
Something, Shango,
so that this man can find me.

936
01:18:14,500 --> 01:18:16,935
So that he loves me as much as I love him.

937
01:18:22,916 --> 01:18:25,067
What should I do?

938
01:18:25,416 --> 01:18:28,170
You can love another.

939
01:18:28,458 --> 01:18:32,771
Does it have to be a foreman?

940
01:18:33,250 --> 01:18:35,685
I can't eat, I can't sleep.

941
01:18:37,083 --> 01:18:38,802
I can't keep down food.

942
01:18:41,583 --> 01:18:43,097
Do something, Shango.

943
01:18:44,833 --> 01:18:47,029
Make him come to me.

944
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:51,150
No matter what.

945
01:18:54,916 --> 01:18:56,270
Just for Shola's sake.

946
01:19:00,250 --> 01:19:02,640
I'm doing it for Shola's sake.

947
01:19:02,916 --> 01:19:04,589
Foremen don't even love

948
01:19:04,833 --> 01:19:07,109
their own mothers.

949
01:19:07,375 --> 01:19:09,935
Give him this.

950
01:19:10,208 --> 01:19:11,961
He will have to vomit

951
01:19:12,208 --> 01:19:13,403
there is evil in him.

952
01:19:13,625 --> 01:19:17,414
He has a lot of bad in him.

953
01:19:20,916 --> 01:19:22,191
You absolutely have to tell him

954
01:19:22,416 --> 01:19:24,089
give a day.

955
01:19:24,333 --> 01:19:25,608
Not at night,

956
01:19:25,833 --> 01:19:27,472
otherwise he won't wake up again.

957
01:19:27,708 --> 01:19:28,744
Remember,

958
01:19:28,958 --> 01:19:31,518
just a little and not at night.

959
01:19:35,583 --> 01:19:37,734
I don't understand that a woman

960
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:40,196
can love a man like that.

961
01:19:42,916 --> 01:19:45,636
There are so many men here.

962
01:19:49,583 --> 01:19:51,063
Remember,

963
01:19:51,291 --> 01:19:52,884
give him just a little.

964
01:20:04,500 --> 01:20:05,900
Thanks, Shango.

965
01:20:10,500 --> 01:20:13,015
So that's what they did with Afriye.

966
01:20:14,083 --> 01:20:16,154
As they the men

967
01:20:16,416 --> 01:20:18,806
separated from the women on the ship.

968
01:20:20,708 --> 01:20:22,062
Poor Afriye,

969
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:23,990
she didn't know

970
01:20:24,500 --> 01:20:26,571
whether she was on land

971
01:20:27,541 --> 01:20:28,770
or at sea.

972
01:20:32,041 --> 01:20:34,920
So their fruit became rotten

973
01:20:35,666 --> 01:20:36,895
conceived.

974
01:20:55,833 --> 01:20:59,463
This is how the rotten fruit was conceived.

975
01:21:04,791 --> 01:21:06,942
Now I have cast him out.

976
01:21:08,166 --> 01:21:09,885
I didn't raise him

977
01:21:10,125 --> 01:21:11,878
so that he can save his own people,

978
01:21:12,125 --> 01:21:13,957
yes, his own people, mistreated.

979
01:21:14,208 --> 01:21:15,801
It's painful and wrong.

980
01:21:23,083 --> 01:21:25,120
Afriye is Nunu!

981
01:21:28,041 --> 01:21:30,192
In fairy tales
the hedgehog girl Afriye

982
01:21:30,458 --> 01:21:32,575
raped on a slave ship.

983
01:21:33,875 --> 01:21:36,674
And that's how Joe was born.

984
01:21:50,416 --> 01:21:52,294
Almighty God,

985
01:21:52,625 --> 01:21:53,661
mother earth,

986
01:21:54,083 --> 01:21:56,359
Spirit of the ancestors of Asona.

987
01:21:56,625 --> 01:21:57,695
Come...

988
01:21:57,916 --> 01:21:58,906
and drink with us.

989
01:21:59,125 --> 01:22:00,479
We thank you for your

990
01:22:00,708 --> 01:22:02,142
our brothers and sisters

991
01:22:02,375 --> 01:22:03,729
certainly led you here.

992
01:22:05,750 --> 01:22:06,979
You deserve

993
01:22:07,208 --> 01:22:09,677
Obirikisi Birim and Okrikraku,

994
01:22:11,083 --> 01:22:12,437
our offering.

995
01:22:12,708 --> 01:22:14,904
That's why we have them back.

996
01:22:15,208 --> 01:22:17,040
Help us in all that we vow.

997
01:22:19,083 --> 01:22:20,517
Help us to achieve

998
01:22:20,750 --> 01:22:21,661
what we strive for.

999
01:22:21,875 --> 01:22:23,468
Peace be with you.

1000
01:22:23,708 --> 01:22:25,222
Thanks be to the spirit of Asona

1001
01:22:25,458 --> 01:22:26,938
and the spirit of the Ekouna.

1002
01:22:27,250 --> 01:22:29,924
Spirit of Prempeh,

1003
01:22:30,500 --> 01:22:32,571
Ani Abena!

1004
01:22:33,083 --> 01:22:34,995
Dine with us.

1005
01:22:35,291 --> 01:22:37,806
Come and dine with us.

1006
01:22:38,083 --> 01:22:39,199
What you saw

1007
01:22:39,458 --> 01:22:40,778
you haven't heard.

1008
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,037
What you heard
you didn't see.

1009
01:22:43,750 --> 01:22:46,219
Spirit of Prempeh,

1010
01:22:46,500 --> 01:22:47,729
Ani Abena...

1011
01:22:47,958 --> 01:22:52,032
<i>I don't know what about myself
from initiation.</i>

1012
01:22:53,583 --> 01:22:56,098
<i>They were probably there
too many church years in me,</i>

1013
01:22:56,708 --> 01:23:00,338
<i>but I was already overjoyed
to have made it into the cave.</i>

1014
01:23:01,375 --> 01:23:02,331
<i>Either way,</i>

1015
01:23:02,666 --> 01:23:04,385
<i>after that I just stood up,</i>

1016
01:23:04,625 --> 01:23:06,901
<i>without clothes, without food,
without nothing,</i>

1017
01:23:07,166 --> 01:23:08,759
<i>and ran off.</i>

1018
01:23:09,041 --> 01:23:11,397
<i>I ran away from this place of evil.</i>

1019
01:23:13,083 --> 01:23:14,881
<i>I didn't know where I was going,</i>

1020
01:23:15,125 --> 01:23:18,004
<i>just ran towards the mountains.</i>

1021
01:23:18,500 --> 01:23:21,299
<i>I don't know how far I got,</i>

1022
01:23:21,583 --> 01:23:22,733
<i>nor where I went,</i>

1023
01:23:22,958 --> 01:23:25,837
<i>but I remember like me
the guards and the dogs</i>

1024
01:23:26,125 --> 01:23:28,242
<i>dragged back in the middle of the night.</i>

1025
01:23:29,708 --> 01:23:32,382
<i>The gentlemen and Father Raphael</i>

1026
01:23:32,666 --> 01:23:35,226
<i>everyone said I was possessed by the devil,</i>

1027
01:23:35,500 --> 01:23:38,652
<i>because I join these pagans
Africans had joined.</i>

1028
01:23:40,500 --> 01:23:43,140
Look, Father.

1029
01:23:43,833 --> 01:23:45,586
Do you see that?

1030
01:23:46,541 --> 01:23:48,214
The work of heathens.

1031
01:23:48,500 --> 01:23:50,935
She is pagan
Niggers let in.

1032
01:23:51,208 --> 01:23:53,245
The characters look similar.

1033
01:23:53,500 --> 01:23:56,618
Definitely pagan. African.

1034
01:24:01,666 --> 01:24:03,100
Pull her up. Stand up!

1035
01:24:03,333 --> 01:24:04,926
Stand up!

1036
01:24:49,666 --> 01:24:51,339
Repeat after me.

1037
01:24:51,666 --> 01:24:53,544
Repeat after the Father!

1038
01:24:53,833 --> 01:24:55,062
Repeat after me.

1039
01:24:55,500 --> 01:24:58,698
«I am God's child.

1040
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:01,310
I belong to Him and Him alone.

1041
01:25:02,708 --> 01:25:04,586
I belong to Him, Him alone.

1042
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:07,993
I am obsessed with Him.

1043
01:25:08,416 --> 01:25:11,375
I am His slave.

1044
01:25:11,666 --> 01:25:14,659
Out with you, devil.

1045
01:25:15,250 --> 01:25:20,245
I will never again
worship another god.

1046
01:25:21,041 --> 01:25:24,557
I won't associate with them
who worship another god.

1047
01:25:28,833 --> 01:25:30,665
A pagan god.

1048
01:25:30,916 --> 01:25:32,828
An African god.

1049
01:25:33,083 --> 01:25:36,793
Never... Never... Never!

1050
01:25:37,291 --> 01:25:38,691
Never!

1051
01:25:38,916 --> 01:25:40,430
Never!
—You bitch,

1052
01:25:40,833 --> 01:25:43,951
never let me go again
these heathen niggers,

1053
01:25:44,250 --> 01:25:46,845
otherwise you will get in big trouble.

1054
01:25:47,500 --> 01:25:50,015
Next time you come
not so easy.

1055
01:25:55,291 --> 01:25:56,725
Let's go, Father.

1056
01:26:59,500 --> 01:27:00,695
My feet...

1057
01:27:02,708 --> 01:27:04,586
my legs.
-Do not give up.

1058
01:27:05,500 --> 01:27:08,060
I can't stop.

1059
01:27:08,375 --> 01:27:12,051
I'm still running.
My feet keep running.

1060
01:27:14,125 --> 01:27:16,515
Run, Shola, run.

1061
01:27:16,791 --> 01:27:17,588
Don't stop.

1062
01:27:17,791 --> 01:27:18,588
Keep running.

1063
01:27:18,791 --> 01:27:21,386
We are no longer slaves.

1064
01:27:25,333 --> 01:27:27,165
Are you afraid of death?

1065
01:27:32,833 --> 01:27:34,745
Honestly, no.

1066
01:27:37,166 --> 01:27:38,646
You have your medicine...

1067
01:27:40,625 --> 01:27:42,059
Never?

1068
01:27:42,791 --> 01:27:43,429
The first time

1069
01:27:43,625 --> 01:27:44,661
I was scared to death

1070
01:27:44,916 --> 01:27:46,111
but not anymore.

1071
01:27:52,375 --> 01:27:54,446
Your medicine protects you.

1072
01:27:57,333 --> 01:27:59,689
That's what they say about you, Shango.

1073
01:28:02,750 --> 01:28:03,581
Do you know, Shola,

1074
01:28:03,833 --> 01:28:05,586
I had a little sister

1075
01:28:05,833 --> 01:28:07,426
and she died.

1076
01:28:07,666 --> 01:28:09,976
To this day I don't know

1077
01:28:10,250 --> 01:28:11,843
where she went.

1078
01:28:12,083 --> 01:28:15,076
All I could see was her body.

1079
01:28:15,375 --> 01:28:18,288
Later my father died.

1080
01:28:18,583 --> 01:28:20,336
That really confused me.

1081
01:28:20,583 --> 01:28:22,063
I didn't understand

1082
01:28:22,416 --> 01:28:23,850
what was going on.

1083
01:28:24,375 --> 01:28:25,775
My sister dead,

1084
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:26,990
my father dead,

1085
01:28:27,291 --> 01:28:28,281
and all that remained

1086
01:28:28,500 --> 01:28:29,456
were their corpses.

1087
01:28:32,125 --> 01:28:35,118
Only later did I realize

1088
01:28:35,458 --> 01:28:40,055
that this is something completely different.

1089
01:28:40,416 --> 01:28:43,215
I had a friend named Jake.

1090
01:28:43,500 --> 01:28:45,139
Oh, Jake.

1091
01:28:45,375 --> 01:28:47,685
You would have liked him very much.

1092
01:28:48,208 --> 01:28:49,927
Jake was the first

1093
01:28:50,208 --> 01:28:53,326
which really enlightened me.

1094
01:28:53,625 --> 01:28:55,344
He told me about people

1095
01:28:55,583 --> 01:28:56,812
like you and me,

1096
01:28:57,083 --> 01:29:00,235
who lived in freedom in the mountains.

1097
01:29:00,625 --> 01:29:02,901
And we planned

1098
01:29:03,208 --> 01:29:05,677
escape together.

1099
01:29:06,041 --> 01:29:08,795
Then one morning,

1100
01:29:09,083 --> 01:29:14,158
I saw him hanging dead on the tree.

1101
01:29:14,541 --> 01:29:17,818
That's when I realized it

1102
01:29:18,125 --> 01:29:21,277
maybe it would be better to die.

1103
01:29:21,583 --> 01:29:24,382
Because if I were dead,

1104
01:29:24,666 --> 01:29:27,022
maybe I would be with those

1105
01:29:27,333 --> 01:29:28,323
that I love.

1106
01:29:28,541 --> 01:29:29,531
With my father,

1107
01:29:29,750 --> 01:29:31,423
my sister and Jake.

1108
01:29:36,375 --> 01:29:38,651
<i>For the first time, Shango trusted me.</i>

1109
01:29:39,916 --> 01:29:42,954
<i>He gave me
a hand carved bird.</i>

1110
01:29:43,625 --> 01:29:47,301
<i>He said it was a Sankofa bird
and put it around my neck

1111
01:29:48,250 --> 01:29:52,085
<i>Shango said he had the Sankofa
inherited from his father.</i>

1112
01:29:52,458 --> 01:29:53,528
<i>No matter</i>

1113
01:29:53,750 --> 01:29:55,821
<i>what the bird was all about,</i>

1114
01:29:56,083 --> 01:29:57,881
<i>as soon as I had it around my neck,</i>

1115
01:29:58,125 --> 01:29:59,684
<i>I became a rebel.</i>

1116
01:30:00,041 --> 01:30:04,832
<i>I was no longer afraid of fire
and whip, not even before death.</i>

1117
01:30:05,833 --> 01:30:09,224
<i>And when I was thrown out,
to work in the field,</i>

1118
01:30:09,791 --> 01:30:11,623
<i>It was fine with me.</i>

1119
01:30:50,291 --> 01:30:51,281
Come on!

1120
01:30:51,541 --> 01:30:53,453
Get to work.

1121
01:30:56,666 --> 01:30:57,656
Hello, Joe.

1122
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,754
Aunt Rose sent you
something to eat from the kitchen.

1123
01:31:01,208 --> 01:31:02,927
I'll put it here.

1124
01:33:11,500 --> 01:33:13,935
What's going on here?

1125
01:33:14,208 --> 01:33:15,403
Get to work!

1126
01:33:15,625 --> 01:33:16,615
Go.

1127
01:33:24,208 --> 01:33:26,643
What's wrong with you, man?

1128
01:33:28,833 --> 01:33:31,428
Let him go.

1129
01:33:33,458 --> 01:33:37,930
Get away from him, let him go!

1130
01:33:38,708 --> 01:33:41,667
He's not feeling well.

1131
01:33:41,958 --> 01:33:43,233
Let him go.

1132
01:33:43,583 --> 01:33:45,779
Leave him. He's not feeling well.

1133
01:33:59,875 --> 01:34:02,185
Water!

1134
01:34:02,458 --> 01:34:03,414
Water.

1135
01:34:03,625 --> 01:34:05,503
What am I supposed to do?

1136
01:35:03,500 --> 01:35:06,060
I'm tired of it. Just die.

1137
01:35:09,708 --> 01:35:10,585
Oh dear,

1138
01:35:10,791 --> 01:35:13,829
oh my god, I'm dying,

1139
01:35:14,125 --> 01:35:16,765
my stomach, like contractions.

1140
01:35:22,791 --> 01:35:28,583
Oh, what a pain.

1141
01:35:30,791 --> 01:35:33,545
My stomach, my stomach.

1142
01:35:33,833 --> 01:35:35,153
How miserable.

1143
01:35:35,375 --> 01:35:36,775
It's terrible.

1144
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:38,150
Terrible.

1145
01:35:46,125 --> 01:35:47,525
Tumi.

1146
01:35:47,750 --> 01:35:50,709
Come here, my son.

1147
01:36:00,791 --> 01:36:03,226
Do you see? Everything is good.

1148
01:36:10,791 --> 01:36:13,386
surrender,

1149
01:36:13,916 --> 01:36:15,828
yes, throw up.

1150
01:36:16,458 --> 01:36:17,687
Don't die.

1151
01:36:18,125 --> 01:36:22,802
With the paternal Asona clan!

1152
01:36:23,166 --> 01:36:25,044
Tumi, my only child.

1153
01:36:25,291 --> 01:36:28,887
At the maternal Ekouna clan!

1154
01:36:29,208 --> 01:36:31,962
Tumi, my only child.

1155
01:36:32,250 --> 01:36:34,719
My only son.

1156
01:36:37,458 --> 01:36:40,929
Who does this child belong to?

1157
01:36:41,250 --> 01:36:44,448
It is mother Abena's child.

1158
01:36:44,750 --> 01:36:46,070
Should we get you?

1159
01:36:46,291 --> 01:36:48,203
put it under the palm tree?

1160
01:36:48,458 --> 01:36:51,451
There are many thorns under the palm tree.

1161
01:36:51,750 --> 01:36:54,310
Under the silk tree?

1162
01:36:54,583 --> 01:36:57,462
Silk will fall on my baby.

1163
01:36:57,750 --> 01:37:00,709
Who does the child belong to?

1164
01:37:12,791 --> 01:37:14,430
She is possessed by the devil!

1165
01:37:16,791 --> 01:37:18,225
You! - What is it?

1166
01:37:18,458 --> 01:37:20,529
What have I done?

1167
01:37:20,791 --> 01:37:24,148
What is it?

1168
01:37:26,791 --> 01:37:28,669
Don't come near me, devil!

1169
01:37:28,916 --> 01:37:30,316
You call me devil?

1170
01:37:30,541 --> 01:37:31,577
I wanted to kill you

1171
01:37:31,791 --> 01:37:32,827
I would have done it long ago.

1172
01:37:33,208 --> 01:37:34,198
Stay away from me.

1173
01:37:34,500 --> 01:37:36,696
You want to destroy me.

1174
01:37:36,958 --> 01:37:38,074
What then,

1175
01:37:38,291 --> 01:37:39,930
I carried you for 9 months.

1176
01:37:40,166 --> 01:37:41,441
9 months, here!

1177
01:37:41,666 --> 01:37:43,703
I nourished you with these breasts.

1178
01:37:43,958 --> 01:37:45,711
Shut your mouth! Shut up!

1179
01:37:46,750 --> 01:37:49,788
You're trying to control me
like everyone else.

1180
01:37:50,083 --> 01:37:53,440
The devil is trying on your mother

1181
01:37:53,916 --> 01:37:55,191
to take possession of you.

1182
01:37:56,041 --> 01:37:58,681
Don't let them come between you
you and God come.

1183
01:38:00,791 --> 01:38:03,181
Stay a steadfast Christian!

1184
01:38:04,125 --> 01:38:05,241
Get out of here, you devil!

1185
01:38:05,458 --> 01:38:06,858
Spirit of my ancestors!

1186
01:38:07,083 --> 01:38:09,393
My only child demonizes me.

1187
01:38:09,708 --> 01:38:12,018
Devil!
—On the soul of my ancestors,

1188
01:38:12,291 --> 01:38:14,089
it's better if you die.

1189
01:38:15,500 --> 01:38:17,651
Shut up! Be quiet!

1190
01:38:45,208 --> 01:38:49,168
Shut up. Be quiet!

1191
01:38:49,500 --> 01:38:51,810
Shut up.

1192
01:39:07,458 --> 01:39:09,529
Shola, help me!

1193
01:39:10,375 --> 01:39:11,934
I need your help!

1194
01:39:13,125 --> 01:39:14,161
Please, Shola.

1195
01:39:16,125 --> 01:39:18,924
What have you done, Joe?

1196
01:39:22,791 --> 01:39:25,181
You are such a pathetic person!

1197
01:39:25,458 --> 01:39:27,097
Oh, Joe!

1198
01:39:29,625 --> 01:39:32,777
Help me! I didn't want to kill her!

1199
01:39:33,958 --> 01:39:36,473
I didn't want to kill her!

1200
01:39:42,916 --> 01:39:45,147
Where is your kind father, Joe?

1201
01:39:46,291 --> 01:39:48,522
Where is your kind father, Joe?

1202
01:39:50,083 --> 01:39:51,563
Raped, Joe!

1203
01:39:52,666 --> 01:39:56,626
She was raped
when she was 14!

1204
01:39:57,125 --> 01:39:58,241
Yes, Joe!

1205
01:39:58,458 --> 01:40:01,974
Which of the whites
who did this is your father?

1206
01:40:02,291 --> 01:40:04,203
That's not true?
-But!

1207
01:40:04,458 --> 01:40:05,448
But!

1208
01:40:05,666 --> 01:40:07,783
Who was it, Joe?

1209
01:40:08,291 --> 01:40:09,407
Which of the whites

1210
01:40:09,625 --> 01:40:12,584
who raped your mother,
is your father?

1211
01:40:14,041 --> 01:40:15,634
That's not true!

1212
01:40:16,500 --> 01:40:19,220
The hedgehog girl was raped!

1213
01:40:20,500 --> 01:40:21,616
Joe...

1214
01:40:22,041 --> 01:40:24,192
Afriye is Nunu!

1215
01:40:24,750 --> 01:40:25,706
Help me.

1216
01:40:26,291 --> 01:40:29,125
Oh, you have no future!

1217
01:40:30,166 --> 01:40:31,520
Shola, don't leave me.

1218
01:40:31,750 --> 01:40:35,221
You have no future!
You are lost!

1219
01:41:49,291 --> 01:41:52,011
What in God's name is going on here?

1220
01:42:09,208 --> 01:42:12,804
Get this heathen out of the house of worship!

1221
01:42:46,958 --> 01:42:49,712
What's wrong with you, Joe?
That's an order!

1222
01:42:50,708 --> 01:42:53,462
I don't tolerate either here
this pagan creature

1223
01:42:54,458 --> 01:42:56,814
nor your heathen behavior!

1224
01:42:58,291 --> 01:43:00,886
Like the rest of these niggas.

1225
01:43:01,916 --> 01:43:04,875
You have no soul.
It's hopeless.

1226
01:43:11,208 --> 01:43:12,927
I'll have you removed.

1227
01:43:15,875 --> 01:43:18,913
This woman you call a heathen
is my mother.

1228
01:43:20,750 --> 01:43:23,584
Stop insulting her.

1229
01:43:24,958 --> 01:43:27,348
Her name is Afriye.

1230
01:43:29,583 --> 01:43:31,063
She is a saint.

1231
01:43:32,208 --> 01:43:34,006
Listen, Father.

1232
01:43:35,625 --> 01:43:38,379
All her life she became
abused and betrayed.

1233
01:43:38,666 --> 01:43:40,339
Even from your own son!

1234
01:43:41,958 --> 01:43:43,915
Isn't she a saint?

1235
01:43:45,708 --> 01:43:48,223
She didn't get through
dragged across the desert

1236
01:43:48,500 --> 01:43:50,173
for our sins? Yours too!

1237
01:43:52,583 --> 01:43:53,539
tell me

1238
01:43:55,250 --> 01:43:56,889
isn't she a saint?

1239
01:43:58,458 --> 01:43:59,812
Joe...

1240
01:44:01,500 --> 01:44:04,652
I raised you from a young age.

1241
01:44:05,916 --> 01:44:08,033
I have always given you the best.

1242
01:44:11,041 --> 01:44:12,361
Joe, please!

1243
01:44:13,583 --> 01:44:14,812
Pull yourself together.

1244
01:44:16,125 --> 01:44:17,241
You are

1245
01:44:18,208 --> 01:44:19,688
a Christian.

1246
01:45:32,250 --> 01:45:34,606
<i>Joe blocked himself for days
in the church.</i>

1247
01:45:34,875 --> 01:45:36,309
<i>They tried to smoke him out.</i>

1248
01:45:36,541 --> 01:45:38,737
<i>In the end you burned
the whole church down.</i>

1249
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:40,992
<i>Father Raphael, Joe, the church,</i>

1250
01:45:41,458 --> 01:45:42,892
<i>everything in ashes.</i>

1251
01:45:44,250 --> 01:45:47,163
<i>And Nunu?
They were never found.</i>

1252
01:45:47,500 --> 01:45:49,537
<i>There is no trace of her.</i>

1253
01:45:50,416 --> 01:45:53,295
<i>Some people still believe today
that she never died.</i>

1254
01:45:53,750 --> 01:45:56,345
<i>It's called a giant buzzard
has come</i>

1255
01:45:56,625 --> 01:45:59,015
<i>and flew back to Africa with her.</i>

1256
01:47:53,708 --> 01:47:55,904
James stands completely
alone on the hill.

1257
01:47:56,166 --> 01:47:57,964
It's a good time, Shango.

1258
01:47:58,791 --> 01:48:01,351
I'll let Jumma know.

1259
01:48:06,041 --> 01:48:07,634
James is standing up there all alone.

1260
01:48:07,875 --> 01:48:09,434
Now is the right moment.

1261
01:51:30,083 --> 01:51:31,073
Give me the gun.

1262
01:51:31,625 --> 01:51:33,537
You'll get in trouble.
Give it here.

1263
01:51:41,166 --> 01:51:42,919
Get that nigger off my back!

1264
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:45,195
It's time, Shango.

1265
01:51:45,416 --> 01:51:46,896
Judgment Day, Shango!

1266
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:49,354
The snake eats that,

1267
01:51:49,583 --> 01:51:51,256
what the frog has in its stomach.

1268
01:53:33,666 --> 01:53:35,498
<i>Guns, horses, foremen.</i>

1269
01:53:35,750 --> 01:53:38,060
<i>It's still ringing in my ears.</i>

1270
01:53:38,333 --> 01:53:40,609
<i>I heard the guns and the dogs,</i>

1271
01:53:40,875 --> 01:53:44,391
<i>when they tore one of us to pieces,
and his voice:</i>

1272
01:53:44,708 --> 01:53:46,188
<i>«Keep running, sister!»</i>

1273
01:53:46,416 --> 01:53:49,932
<i>«Keep running!» The horse patter
came closer and closer</i>

1274
01:53:50,250 --> 01:53:52,526
<i>and suddenly I heard
as another fell.</i>

1275
01:53:52,791 --> 01:53:55,863
<i>They were hot on our heels
and I knew I was next.</i>

1276
01:53:56,166 --> 01:53:59,045
<i>Someone cheered me on
even as the dogs pounced on him:</i>

1277
01:53:59,333 --> 01:54:00,562
<i>«Keep running, sister!»</i>

1278
01:54:00,791 --> 01:54:02,623
<i>«Run, run, run!»</i>

1279
01:54:02,875 --> 01:54:06,186
<i>My head was glowing. The tiredness disappeared.</i>

1280
01:54:06,500 --> 01:54:08,651
<i>Lightness flowed through me.</i>

1281
01:54:08,916 --> 01:54:10,669
<i>My feet no longer hurt.</i>

1282
01:54:10,916 --> 01:54:14,876
<i>The big buzzard flew next to me,
spread his wings</i>

1283
01:54:15,208 --> 01:54:17,518
<i>and lifted myself higher and higher.</i>

1284
01:54:17,791 --> 01:54:19,589
<i>Exactly as Shango said.</i>

1285
01:54:19,833 --> 01:54:22,428
<i>In the next moment
I flew through the air

1286
01:54:22,708 --> 01:54:24,381
<i>and rose higher and higher.</i>

1287
01:54:24,625 --> 01:54:28,096
<i>This miserable earth became
increasingly smaller and more insignificant</i>

1288
01:54:28,416 --> 01:54:32,092
<i>and shrunken dogs, overseers,
Foreman and horses,</i>

1289
01:54:32,416 --> 01:54:36,490
<i>which became smaller and smaller.
Just like Shango said.</i>

1290
01:54:36,833 --> 01:54:38,506
<i>The buzzard carried me.</i>

1291
01:56:04,625 --> 01:56:07,094
my daughter,

1292
01:56:07,375 --> 01:56:09,890
hold me tight!

1293
01:56:17,250 --> 01:56:21,369
Don't cry.

1294
01:56:21,708 --> 01:56:25,827
That's fine.

1295
01:56:50,916 --> 01:56:52,236
Hey, Mona!

1296
01:56:53,208 --> 01:56:54,164
Mona!

1297
01:56:57,083 --> 01:56:58,073
Mona!

1298
01:56:59,583 --> 01:57:00,812
Where have you been?

1299
01:57:01,333 --> 01:57:04,531
Because of you, I almost did
missed the magic hour!

1300
02:00:31,833 --> 02:00:33,392
<i>Spirit of the dead,</i>

1301
02:00:33,625 --> 02:00:34,615
<i>appear.</i>

1302
02:00:35,458 --> 02:00:37,814
<i>Eternal spirit of the dead,</i>

1303
02:00:38,250 --> 02:00:42,688
<i>Arise and take possession
from your migratory bird.</i>

1304
02:00:43,083 --> 02:00:45,314
<i>You stolen Africans,</i>

1305
02:00:45,583 --> 02:00:47,575
<i>rises from the ocean,</i>

1306
02:00:47,916 --> 02:00:51,227
<i>the wounds of the ships and
lays claim to history.</i>

1307
02:00:52,500 --> 02:00:53,934
<i>Spirit of the dead,</i>

1308
02:00:54,583 --> 02:00:55,778
<i>arise.</i>
