A Tale of freedom from America to Africa 3 Mar 2012

This is an excellent documentary which captures some of the best parts of Simon Schama's book. The story of the ex-slaves who fought for the British during the American War of Independence. Recommended viewing!

Schama's America 7 Sep 2011

By RR Waller TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:DVD

Schama is an experienced documentary film-maker; he and his team know how to get the best out of the medium. In this drama-documentary, they build on earlier successes to create a very informative, moving, shocking and engaging history of an aspect of American history which still resonates today.
Unless read by a vivid, creative imagination, scholarly history can remain just that - scholarly words on the page; drama documentary breathes life into it, the words rise from the page and become what they always were, the lives of real people. Schama has always had a flair for imbuing history with vividness and breathing life into stuffy history without an excess of voyeuristic, gratuitous drama.
This creates the slavery industry before our eyes; history becomes "now" and reverberates. One can ask little more from a historian.

Recommended.

Interesting history 5 Nov 2008

By Philip Corneille

Format:DVD

Interesting bit of American history, superb story-telling by the British-born Professor of history Simon Schama. Moreover the situation of Afro-American is a current with the election of Democratic senator Obama on 4th November 2008. After more than two centuries we can finally see the start of a new America... Freedom at last?

A great companion to an excellent book
