Description

Clement Virgo's film adaptation of author Lawrence Hills award-winning bestseller, The Book of Negroes, provides a short but immensely revealing record of freed Loyalist slaves who requested permission to leave the US for resettlement in Nova Scotia, only to find that the haven they sought was steeped in an oppression all of its own.
