Up from Slavery Storyline

In 1860, as the American Experiment threatened to explode into a bloody civil war, there were as many as four hundred thousand slave-owners in the United States, and almost four million slaves. The nation was founded upon the idea that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The nation would pay a bloody cost for denying that right to more than twelve percent of its population.But when slavery was first brought to America’s shores, this war, and even the nation it tore apart, was centuries in the future. With incredibly detailed historical reenactments, expert commentary and the stories of slavery told through first-hand accounts, this is an epic struggle 400 years in the making. A journey into the past like none other. This is the story of these men and women who by their hands laid the foundation of what would become the most powerful nation on Earth.

Up from Slavery Movie Reviews

an excellent biography on the history of slaves arriving to America and then freed

This was a great informational 7 part series bout the history of African slaves in America. It was both entertaining and educational while dealing with such a serious subject matter. I was sad when i was on the last episode cause i wanted to see more of this documentary. The music such as the African slave songs sung by slaves was a good touch for the video. I liked the intro of the abolitionists into this and also the stories of some of the slave uprisings. This film was like a refresher course of what i learned in highschool but it added much more information that i did not know went on during the slavery time period. Such as learning more details bout harriet tubman , nat turner and federick douglas. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes history or just likes an entertaining, informative documentary in general.

Excellent Biography I love and hated it

Watching this documentary really blew my mind and made me take a step back from all my activism’s and understand that things are not always what they seem nor are they what a lot will assume. It was very informative. I had no idea Spanish people owned black people first in America. I had no idea George Washington owned five plantations. I know understand why many of us blacks are now Christians because it would make our chances better of being free and even though I am an Atheist Black man I never truly understood why so many blacks were Christians, but this show really taught a lot to me to help me understand the history.

Informative? Yes. Entertaining? Meh

I watched this whole series. I am a big fan of both history and documentaries so figured this would be a good option. The series provides a very informative account of the history of American slavery but it lacks that entertainment aspect. I feel a good documentary should be both informative and entertaining. The narrator was very monotone throughout. It feels like something the teacher would put on back in high school history class when they don’t want to teach the class themselves.
