This movie is a must watch. Too many people don't believe the atrocities that occurred in the USA during the 400+ years of slavery. This period was not and cannot be romanticized. Enslaved women and men were NOT see or acknowledge as human they were literally chattle. Bought sold sexually assaulted and abused and discarded in anyway fit. These movie show a glimpse of history and this needs to be taught in schools across the nation. This IS HISTORY OF THE USA!
