Full Plot Details

Based on the Pulitzer-Prize-winning book by Douglas Blackmon, Slavery By Another Name tells the stories of men, charged with crimes like vagrancy, but often guilty of nothing, who were bought and sold, abused, and subjected to deadly working conditions as unpaid convict labor, continuing until the era of World War II. The documentary recounts the many ways in which American slavery persisted for many decades after its supposed abolition. It documents the shocking and long unacknowledged reality and the catastrophic effects of a huge system of forced labor, rooted in a corrupt criminal justice system and the widespread racism of white Americans in every region. Against the backdrop of contemporary police shooting controversies, mass incarceration and the Black Lives Matter movement, the historical evidence and interviews with the descendants of victims and perpetrators resonate with modern audiences. Cristina Comer, who discovered how her family profited from the system, comments that "the story is important no matter how painful the reality is.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Jim LThis documentary uncovers the brutal period in the South after reconstruction. It tells the story that Douglas Blackmon explains in his book by the same name. The book is so troubling I couldn't read it all. This film captures the same horror in 90 minutes. It is an important part of U.S. history that never made it in to any history course I took in high school or college.
