Through a song, it bridges hundreds of years and thousands of miles from the Gullah people of present-day Georgia back to 18th century Sierra Leone . It recounts the even more remarkable saga of how African Americans have retained links with their African past through the horrors of the middle passage, slavery and segregation. (52 min)

The film presents the music of the Sons of Benkos, one of the most important Black leaders in the fight for freedom during the times of slavery in Colombia .
