Welcome to Flash Back Friday! With 700+ episodes in our archive, we're excited to revisit some of our favorites with y'all!

In this episode, along with Sundance co-hort John Wildman,we throw back to our conversation earlier this year with director Margaret Brown of the film Descendant. We were blown away by this documentary and are thrilled to see it finally make a wide release on Netflix starting today, October 21. Our original episode description is below:

Descendant follows the descendants of Clotilda, the last known slave vessel illegally brought to America, before, during, and after finding the first remains of the ship. Director Margaret Brown shares not only the emotional, but also the environmental issues in historic Africatown (in Southern Alabama where this film takes place), and her own emotional journey in making this film.

Descendant is the perfect pairing of the Netflix series High on the Hog as well as the Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America which we have covered on this podcast as well.
