The story of the Atlantic slave trade told through letters, memoirs and historical research. Episode one looks at the riches made, the barbaric violence used, the ways of resistance, and the complicity of Africans. "Those African kings that participated in the Atlantic slave trade derived huge benefits from it. If we take settlements like Benine, its economy was based largely on the slave trade." Dr Joe Ali, Fourah Bay College, Sierra Leone.
