Description
As the American War of Independence reaches its climax, a plantation slave and a British Naval Officer embark on an epic journey in search of freedom. Divided by barriers of race but united in their ambitions for equality, their convictions will change attitudes towards slavery forever. Sweeping from the deep south of America to the scorched earth of West Africa, "Rough Crossings" is a compelling true story that marks the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire.
