Unchained Memories: Readings from the Slave Narrative.
Unchained Memories is a 2003 documentary film about the stories of
former slaves interviewed during the 1930s as part of the Federal
Writers' Project and preserved in the WPA Slave Narrative Collection.
This HBO film interpretation directed by Ed Bell and Thomas Lennon is a
compilation of slave narratives, narrated by actors, emulating the
original conversation with the interviewer. The slave narratives may be
the most accurate in terms of the everyday activities of the enslaved,
serving as personal memoirs of more than two thousand former slaves. The
documentary depicts the emotions of the slaves and what they endured.
The "Master" had the opportunity to sell, trade, or kill the enslaved,
for retribution should one slave not obey.
