This documentary chronicles the journey of author Marcus Rediker as he retraces the path of the brave Africans who rebelled against their captors and seized the slave schooner Amistad in 1839, leading to a watershed US Supreme Court decision that sparked Abolitionist action leading to the Civil War. Based on Rediker’s ground-breaking book The Amistad Rebellion: An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom, the film travels to present day Sierra Leone to visit the home villages of Sengbe Pieh (Joseph Cinqué) and the other captives who were held on the Amistad, interviewing elders about local memory of the case and searching for the long-lost ruins of Lomboko, the slave trading factory where their cruel transatlantic voyage began. The film uses the knowledge of villagers, fishermen, and truck drivers to recover the lost history of the Amistad, told from a seldom-voiced perspective in the historical struggle against slavery.

Scientists conjecture that little pieces of string are the foundation of our universe, binding it together, invisibly unifying the four forces of gravity, electromagnetism, the strong and the weak.

Scientists conjecture that little pieces of string are the foundation of our universe, binding it together, invisibly unifying the four forces of gravity, electromagnetism, the strong and the weak. String Theory examines the interlinking of four lives – an embittered ex-president, a young man of power, a radical Christian and a lost child. Together and apart, these four disparate elements forge a turning point in the battle over slavery, binding the forces of freedom, equality, justice and faith, pushing a nation toward its promise.Drawn from first-person accounts, String Theory gives living voice to the epic saga of La Amistad, the first civil and human rights case in American history Show more Show less
