We are thrilled to share with you that Traces
<http://www.tracesofthetrade.org/index.html>  of the Trade: A Story from
the
Deep North will have a national television broadcast premiere on the PBS
award-winning independent documentary film series
<http://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2008/tracesofthetrade/preview.html> P.O.V. on
Tuesday, June 24 at 10pm! Please check your local listings for airdate
and
time in your area.
Traces of the Trade was nine years in the making, with the amazing
involvement and support of the Akonadi Foundation, the Ford Foundation,
and
the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities, among many
<http://www.tracesofthetrade.org/about.html>  others. It is being
released
in 2008 on the occasion of the Bicentennial of the U.S. abolition of the
slave trade (January 1, 1808). In January the film had its world premiere
at
the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, and since then it's been featured at the
New Orleans International Human Rights Film Festival, the National
Constitution Center's Legacy of 1808 series, and the Newport
International
Film Festival. For those of you in the New York area, Traces of the Trade
is
an official selection of the 2008 Human Rights
<http://hrw.org/iff/2008/ny/>
Watch International Film Festival and we will be there for Q&As after
each
screening. 
Congressman John Conyers, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said
at
our Sundance premiere: "The power of the film is that it is flesh and
blood
people with all their shortcomings, struggles, and bravery-so it cuts
through the talking heads, policy papers and statistics on inequality."
[Salt Lake Tribune]
Now is your chance to get involved with the film that has moved
Congressman
Conyers and hundreds of others in screenings across the country!
