We’re so excited to share that our [award-winning]( documentary, DESCENDANT, is now available to stream on Netflix! Directed by Margaret Brown, the film takes viewers on a search for the legendary Clotilda, the last known slave ship to arrive in the U.S. in 1860– a whole 52 years after the slave trade was declared a federal crime, punishable by death. After disembarking the kidnapped Africans, the ship was promptly burned and sunk to conceal evidence of the crime. Told from the point of view of the descendants of those on the Clotilda, the film is an urgent contemplation of a past that was all but erased, and the ever-present consequences of America’s history of racial violence. The film premiered at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival (taking home the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award) and is backed by the [Obamas’ Higher Ground Productions](.
