Lenten Film Series: "Traces of the Trade, A Story from the Deep North" with Dain and Constance Perry
A documentary film that unearths a hidden legacy of slavery in America. Traces of the Trade: A Story From The Deep North was one of the few documentaries chosen from 953 submissions to be shown at the Sundance Film Festival in January, 2008. It traces a journey by Katrina Browne, the filmmaker, and nine of her cousins into the dark past of the slave trade which enriched their white New England family.
Dain Perry, one of the nine cousins, and his wife, Constance, screen the film and facilitate a conversation on race, reconciliation and healing. Traces of the Trade is both a geographical and psychological retracing of the industry of the largest slave traders in American history, the DeWolf family of Bristol, Rhode Island, and an exploration into racism in America, a legacy of slavery that continues to tragically impact the country even today. -
Lenten Film Series: "Slavery in the Age of Revolution" with Oliver Franklin
A screening and discussion on the Saint Paul's Labyrinth. Balliol College (founded in 1263) began to look into its archives to ‘discover’ the relationships between the institution and the transatlantic slave trade. This film documents the discovery itself and the exhibition created from it; the influence of Toussaint Louverture as the one Enlightenment leaders who fulfilled the basic idea of the Enlistment by abolishing slavery forever in Haiti; and the college’s response to discovering its relationship to the slave trade.
