As part of a seminar on "The Origins and Nature of New World Slavery,"
I have been asked to screen a number of films.

Do you know how I might go about obtaining a copy of SANKOFA, a highly
acclaimed film on the slave trade?

Also, are there other films you would recommend? I am particularly
interested in showing films that might offer African perspectives on
the impact of the slave trade or slavery.

I greatly appreciate your suggestions and advice.
Thanks,
Steve Mintz
