SYNOPSIS: The filmmaker discovers that her New England ancestors were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. She and nine cousins retrace the Triangle Trade and gain new perspective on the black/white divide. Director Katrina Browne is a seventh generation descendant of Mark Anthony DeWolf, the family's first slave trader. Browne continues to be involved in outreach programs to develop community dialogue on race, ethnicity, and equity.
