I like discovering new pieces of American history, the things we are not often told about in our history books. When I saw this, I thought this would be along the same vein as Alex Haley's "Roots" or Alex Haley's "Queen." While it does focus on Denmark Vesey and his role in the.slave revolt. It's unusual to watch a film through the eyes of a former slave who bought his freedom. He was a successful businessman and.an active church member. I feel like Denmark was a man ahead of the times.
