Green Team Movie Night
September 3, 2019
$65 – $75Green Team Movie Night Tuesday, Dec 1st will be a VERY special event. We have reserved the sanctuary with the large screen for a big crowd. We will be screening “Traces of the Trade” which was featured by PBS as one of the POV selections a few years back (POV: Documentaries with a point of view). Tom DeWolf will answer questions and go deeper in the discussion after. He is featured in the film as one of the family members exploring their slave-trading family history.
“Traces of the Trade” Movie followed by presentation by Tom DeWolf, who is in the film!
A film by Katrina Brown, who discovered that her New England ancestors were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. She and nine fellow DeWolf descendants set off to retrace the Triangle Trade: from their old hometown in Rhode Island to slave forts in Ghana to 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. Featured by PBS on POV, Documentaries with a Point of view.
Tom DeWolf, a Bendite, author of Inheriting the Trade and Gather at the Table, and one of the descendants featured in the film, will answer questions about the film. He will introduce Coming to the Table, an organization dedicated to healing racial wounds of the past.
