- DirectorDahlia DennisonCenturies after the Atlantic Triangular Slave Trade, its routes continue to be conduits of strife, bondage and freedom. The story of the Merikin people forms a part of those histories. They had been enslaved on the East Coast of North America, and rose beneath the British flag to fight in the War of 1812, against those who they saw as their chief oppressors, the American plantocracy. At the wars end, their fates were cast out and sent adrift to the shores of South Trinidad, an island to the very South of the Caribbean archipelago. This documentary dislodges their story from the crevices of history and breathes new life amid the dust of time and its forgetting.
