0/10 by 0 users
Martijn and Finbarr end up in the swamps of Louisiana, where enslaved people were helped by natives to escape. They meet Mardi Gras Indians, 'black natives'. These used to be street gangs that attacked each other, but now it's about who makes the most beautiful costumes. Angola Prison used to be a cotton plantation where enslaved people worked, but now prisoners work there. During the rodeo, the doors open to the public and everyone can see how young black inmates throw themselves in front of mad bulls in the hope of earning a few bucks. What is freedom when so many black people are imprisoned, often for decades?
