Customer Reviews of Unchained Memories (Dol)
Touched my heart This is a beautiful documentary that touches on a small element of how slavery was from the exact words of ex slaves. It is impossible to embody how the whole experience was from the tales of the slaves that appeared in the books and in the movie. But this movie does a good job on exposng some of the main facts and atrocities that were committed against africans in amerikkka. This movie needs to be shown in all academic arenas as well as homes to expose how africans have been treated for the past 700 years.

>If this film centered on the actual slaves, rather than the ACTORS making narration, it would have been a very powerful documentary. While reading it should have focused on the drawings, and dipictions. When I saw a great deal of the YOUNG actors on a chair reciting prose-to me it seemed more to accentuate the actors rather than what the text was saying.

>Just the fact that slavery existed under the United States Constitution shows how law can be manipulated in any way those in power want it to be and the goverment can do whatever they want and get away with it. Remember it was legal only 200 years ago, and suppression and rediculous repression of human beings based on race existed even in the 1970's. And it was legal back then.

>Based on the horrible adverse treatment of slaves, it showed the majority of southern businessmen were very POOR businessmen. THink about it--they spent HUGE--and I mean HUGE quantities--of money ($800 or $1000 was a vast fortune back in the 1800's) only to beat and starve and work them to death like, they are not protecting their investments. You would think common sense dictates if one spent vast fortunes, they would want to CARE for their investment (feed them, clothe them adequately, gave them proper shelter, etc). No, these businessmen starved and tortured their investments. I guess they had money to throw away. This lack of business sense probably is a reason why the south lost.

>The slave trade was a big business back then. Huge quantities of slaves were NOT captured in Africa, but were sold to the white slave traders by their own people. And yes Africans kept slaves too--blacks enslaved blacks.

>Interesting to note even Abraham Lincoln cared less about the existance of slavery but wrote the Emancipation Proclamation only as a political ploy to not get European nations involved, and that the Civil war was, in reality, only to keep the north and south united and not form a separate government.

>Back to the documentary-yes it disappointed me. I didn't know what showing the actors sitting and reciting proved. The actor's faces should not have been shown at all. It distracted from the real theme of memories of slavery. These actors should have been faceless and not seen. Unless they wanted to play dipictions rather than just SIT and READ.
