"This is more than one family's painful reckoning. This is the nation's story - one that strips away the North's heroic mantle..."<BR>
- Cecelia Goodnow, <I>Seattle Post-Intelligencer<BR>
</I>In <I>Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North</I>, first-time filmmaker Katrina Browne makes a troubling discovery - her New England ancestors were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. She and nine fellow descendants set out to retrace the Triangle Trade: from their old hometown in Rhode Island to slave forts in Ghana, and sugar plantation ruins in Cuba. Step by step, they uncover the vast extent of Northern complicity in slavery while also stumbling through the minefield of contemporary race relations. In this bicentennial year of the U.S. abolition of the slave trade, <I>Traces of the Trade</I> offers powerful new perspectives on the black/white divide. <BR>
