This documentary takes an in-depth look at big budget films that focus on the transatlantic slave trade and, using a wealth of sources and interviews, it argues that these depictions are metaphoric hallucinations about race. Rather than blaming the powerful institutions that are responsible for slavery, these films rewrite history by praising those same institutions for abolishing the slave trade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studentsuccess-news\/files\/2019\/03\/PoW.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-663\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studentsuccess-news\/files\/2019\/03\/PoW-1024x583.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studentsuccess-news\/files\/2019\/03\/PoW-1024x583.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studentsuccess-news\/files\/2019\/03\/PoW-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studentsuccess-news\/files\/2019\/03\/PoW-768x437.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/studentsuccess-news\/files\/2019\/03\/PoW.jpg 1095w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">The screening begins at 16.30 and is followed by a Question &amp; Answer discussion panel consisting of Eugene Nulman (the director), Ben Marsh (History), Charles Devellennes (Politics), Richard Misek (Film), Sweta Rajan-Rankin (Sociology), Carol Stewart (Medway African &amp; Caribbean Association).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">The event is a free but ticketed event.
