Details
Amidst a backdrop of racial tension and political conflict, the film follows the journey of the Mende captives as they navigate the American legal system. Led by the charismatic Cinque, who becomes the voice of his people, they find an unlikely ally in a property lawyer named Roger Baldwin. Together with abolitionist Theodore Joadson and former President John Quincy Adams, they fight to secure their freedom in a landmark trial that captures the nation's attention.
Amistad skillfully explores the themes of justice, equality, and the power of the human spirit. It serves as a powerful reminder of the atrocities committed during the transatlantic slave trade and the resilience of those who fought for their rights.

With its compelling narrative and outstanding performances, Amistad is a must-watch film that sheds light on a significant chapter in American history.
