About this product

Product Information

Based on actual events in 1838, AMISTAD is the story of captured African slaves who took over their transport ship in a bloody revolt with the hopes of returning back to their homeland. After the slaves are caught and imprisoned, their leader, Cinque (Djimon Hounsou), unable to understand the language or court system of America, tries to communicate his desire to return home to his defense lawyer, Roger Baldwin (Matthew McConaughey), and former slave Theodore Joadson (Morgan Freeman). The men plead for help with their groundbreaking court case from former president John Quincy Adams (Anthony Hopkins). Steven Spielberg directed this moving film, using as a reference the book by William A. Owens, BLACK MUTINY: THE REVOLT ON THE SCHOONER AMISTAD. The Africans in the movie speak Mende, with subtitles added. West African actor Djimon Hounsou had to learn to speak the language for his role--and was nominated for a Golden Globe. Spielberg shot the film at the State House in Providence, Rhode Island, the seaport in Mystic, Connecticut, and other New England locations.

    Truly worth watching, but not for young children.

    Excellent movie! Deals with an historical event. Very compelling and well told. Heart-warming while also heart-wrenching. It doesn't directly deal with racism, but it shows some aspects of what was believed by several different groups at the time. Truly worth watching, but not for young children.

  • Story of Illegal Slave-Trade

    Even though it is fictionalized, it speaks of an almost forgotten incident of American history. It did not stand as a landmark case on the issue of slavery. But, it was significant. Most people don’t know don’t know how difficult slavery was for the nation.
