Synopsis

1792, London: former slave Olaudah Equiano has bought his freedom and lives a comfortable life in England. But his white, God-fearing neighbours still afford him little respect and the law won't protect him. With memories of his horrific experience as a child slave still strong, Olaudah's answer is to write a book aimed at abolishing the whole concept of slavery.
