Show Notes

In this emotionally charged, fact-based audiobook documentary, cultural journalist and documentarian Robert Williams retraces the enduring impact of the transatlantic slave trade across the Caribbean. Told in a Smithsonian-style first-person narrative, this journey spans Jamaica, Barbados, Haiti, Trinidad, and more — exposing how slavery’s legacy remains embedded in land ownership, social inequality, political systems, and cultural identity.From the haunting remnants of plantations to the rising voices of youth demanding reparations, this documentary explores generational trauma, historical resistance, and the Caribbean’s ongoing fight for justice and memory. Through reflective storytelling and investigative insight, we uncover how Black heritage, cultural resistance, and national identity were shaped by centuries of forced labor — and how the Caribbean today is reclaiming its narrative.
