“Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels,” directed by Tony Buba and produced by Marcus Rediker, is based on Rediker’s book, “The Amistad Rebellion: An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom” (Penguin, 2012). The film chronicles a journey to Sierra Leone in 2013 to visit the home villages of the rebels who captured the slave schooner “Amistad” in 1839, to interview elders about local memory of the incident through the oral tradition, and to search for the long-lost ruins of Lomboko, the slave trading factory where the cruel transatlantic voyage began. The filmmakers rely on the knowledge of villagers, fishermen, and truck drivers to recover a lost history from below in the struggle against slavery and to restore the popular memory of the Atlantic slave trade. • For more information, including a video archive of out-takes, visit the film’s website: https://www.ghostsofamistad.com/. • The film is also available with subtitles in these languages: • French: • Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps o... • Italian: • Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps o... • Spanish: • Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps o... • Portuguese: • Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps o... • “Ghosts of Amistad” premiered at the Three Rivers Film Festival in 2014 and was an official selection of six other film festivals, including the Pan African Film Festival and the New York African Film Festival.
