An uprising on the slave ship La Amistad in 1839 only led to the Africans being recaptured and jailed in America but their cause captured the public imagination and they ultimately won their freedom in a landmark court case. This telling of the story reveals new evidence and profiles the leading rebels, tracing their roots in Sierra Leone, as well as the abolitionists who fought on their behalf.
