"1745": Film About Runaway Slaves in 18th cent. Scotland

in slavery •  8 years ago  (edited)

Premise: "Two black slave sisters escape into the wilderness of 18th century Scotland." Scotland was heavily involved in the slave trade. YES, THERE WERE BLACK PEOPLE IN EUROPE AT THAT TIME. For more on the history of blacks in ancient Europe, check out Afro-Europe.

Normally, I don't post these types of requests but I make an exception. Diana Galbadon of Outlander fame promoted this historical film AND the project had already exceeded their financial goals. Any additional gifts you provide be more of a statement :)

Note that some Scottish immigrants that settled the American South owned slaves. Their descendants bear their names to this day.
