The Last Slave
2007, 49 minutes
One man's journey to explore his family heritage
It's only 200 years since Britain abolished its slave trade and the legacy of slavery is still a live issue in Britain's Afro-Caribbean communities. To commemorate the anniversary of abolition, this film follows young black Londoner David Monteith as he attempts to discover just how much his family history and his contemporary identity are a product of the British slave trade.
