This episode examines the Atlantic slave system as an organized machine that reshaped the Caribbean. It follows the path from port to ship to sale yard, showing how European empires turned human beings into inventory through bureaucracy, law, and routine violence. Rather than focusing on plantations alone, the episode exposes the earlier stages where identity was stripped, survival was calculated, and dehumanization became normal practice. Told with a documentary base and a restrained host presence, the story centers structure over spectacle and reveals how cruelty hid behind order, paperwork, and profit. The episode confronts how this system did not merely use the Caribbean, but built it, leaving consequences that still shape the region today.
