Slavery and the Making of America Audience Reviews

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
