Descendant On Netflix

Documentary filmmaker Margaret Brown returns to her hometown of Mobile, Ala. to document the search for and historic discovery of The Clotilda, the last known ship to arrive in the United States, illegally carrying enslaved Africans. After a century of secrecy and speculation, the 2019 discovery of the ship turns attention toward the descendant community of Africatown and presents a moving portrait of a community actively grappling with and fighting to preserve their heritage while examining what justice looks like today. The movie was a special jury prize winner at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.
