Jackson, human rights activist and Hollywood iconFrom the writers behind the acclaimed documentary seriesA EnslavedA starring Samuel L. Jackson, comes a rich and revealing narrative of the true global and human scope of the transatlantic slave trade. The trade existed for 400 years, during which 12 million people were trafficked, and 2 million would die en route. In these pages we meet the remarkable group, Diving with a Purpose DWP,A as they dive sunken slave ships all around the world.

From manilla bracelets to shackles, cargo, and other possessions, the finds from these wrecks bring the stories of lost lives back to the surface.
