00:02My ancestors came from here.
00:04They were taken from Africa
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined4
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto North and South America
00:19and the Caribbean.
00:22More than two million died en route.
00:28The Atlantic Ocean floor is
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined11
undefined:undefined12
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedOut here in the high seas.
00:47Ready to get wet, baby?
00:48Some of the best underwater
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined18
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwho didn't have a voice,
01:05whose voices were also enslaved.
01:08We have to teach our young people
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined24
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat didn't.
01:19The transatlantic slave trade
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined32
undefined:undefined33
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedThat's a tusk.
01:59What? Oh, my God. Look at that.
02:01Between us, we will cross
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined45
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith the slave trade?
02:31MUSIC: I Wish I Knew How It Would
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined49
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbegan at my cousin Hilda's.
02:54Hilda's been able to do something
02:56uncommon for most
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined55
undefined:undefined56
undefined:undefined57
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsome of your history
03:23that you have never seen.
03:24And we want you to know it.
03:26When did you have time
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined64
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand Uncle Edgar,
03:44who is Sam's grandfather.
03:46And then we go to Lille,
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined76
undefined:undefined77
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedThat's right.
04:15And this is his mother, Matilda.
04:18Who was a slave.
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined85
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwho fathered Arthur.Mm.
04:30You can see his name up there,
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined89
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmy ancestors came from Gabon,
04:48a former French territory
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined94
undefined:undefined95
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto my ancestry,
05:05where the rainforest comes
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined99
undefined:undefined100
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedAfrican rainforest
05:36but we have over 60% of
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined105
undefined:undefined106
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand patrol the forest
06:10and fight against the poachers.
06:12Literally? Literally.
06:13We're having gun battles
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined113
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined$2,000 a kilo on the black market.
06:41In this beautiful,
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined120
undefined:undefined121
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe river mouth to uncover evidence
07:26showing just how massive
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined127
undefined:undefined128
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedover here, right?
07:47Who walked for three months to
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined133
undefined:undefined134
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhat was this area called?
08:06Well, this was
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined139
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhere, deep into the interior
08:18to exploit the riches of
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined143
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon roads like this.
08:36You know, it kind of feels
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined148
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedSo, it kind of feels very familiar.
08:48When I looked at the clothesline,
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined152
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmy childhood
09:00so doesn't feel strange at all.
09:04Yeah, familiar.
09:06It touches something inside me.
09:12We're headed to Iguela.
09:14It's a massive lagoon,
09:16over 85 square miles,
09:18with lots of little islands.
09:22Over a million slaves were shipped
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined166
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe same boat as my ancestors.
10:11There's an elephant, right there.
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined172
undefined:undefined173
undefined:undefined174
undefined:undefined175
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlost at that time?
10:34Probably hundreds of
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined182
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhere they would be sold, or...
10:55Shackled and shipped? Yeah.
10:57There were hundreds of
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined187
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand millions of oyster shells
11:19piled upon each other.
11:21That was the only food that
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined194
undefined:undefined195
undefined:undefined196
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined"Well, how many people?"
11:46It's acres' worth.
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined202
undefined:undefined203
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfirst see the big ships, right?
12:13Yeah, they might well see
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined207
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhave seen the big ships,
12:27waiting to be filled with people.
12:31Once again, we look at the desperate
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined213
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbut 200 years ago, hell on Earth.
12:51From here, the next stop
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined220
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedDiving With A Purpose comes in.
13:16These volunteers are dedicated to
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined225
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedevidence that will tie this location
13:37to the final resting place
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined231
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbrings it closer to reality,
13:51closer to those people who
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined235
undefined:undefined236
undefined:undefined237
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwas wrecked within a day's sail
14:16of England, at the very front door
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined243
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda monopoly on the slave trade
14:40and this was a company ship.
14:45On its way back to England,
14:47the slave ship hit a storm
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined249
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe earliest slaver in the world
15:16ever found, and, in this period,
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined253
undefined:undefined254
undefined:undefined255
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyou can see remains of these
15:33iron cannons and copper
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined259
undefined:undefined260
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedparticipate in the slave trade.
15:52So, no-one has put eyes
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined264
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof information you can extract
16:04to add to our story.
16:06Let's take a look at the charts.
16:08Well, this is the western
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined270
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbetween France and England.
16:17The waves become higher
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined274
undefined:undefined275
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe need conditions to be good.
16:31We need them to be calm, flat.
16:33For all those factors come together,
16:35it's just going to present
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined282
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedusing one of the most advanced
16:52research vessels available.
16:54The local crew is very experienced
16:56and they know how treacherous and
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined288
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedweight of responsibility.
17:12Every dive we do has real
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined292
undefined:undefined293
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwere brought over from Africa.
17:27So, I'm straddling these two lives,
17:29these two ancestry lines.
17:34The story of the slave trade
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined299
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedIt's a world shame.
17:49The world bears
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined303
undefined:undefined304
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto trade in Africa for people,
18:09gold and elephant tusks.
18:11Once they finished their business,
18:13they set sail for
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined310
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedapproaching shipwreck site 35F.
18:35For the initial survey,
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined317
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin the ROV control room.
19:12Hopefully, there are still
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined324
undefined:undefined325
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe should be close to the seabed.
19:32I'm just going to slow my descent.
19:35Oh, wow!
19:37This area, look at that.
19:38The seabed at 108.5m.
19:43KINGA: The seabed is over 360ft
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined333
undefined:undefined334
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon the sonar here. OK.
20:02What is this like?
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined338
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedelevated off the seabed.
20:12Let's head a bit west.
20:18We searched the ocean bed
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined343
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedright there!
20:33Oh, yeah.
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined348
undefined:undefined349
undefined:undefined350
undefined:undefined351
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedIt's the back end of the cannon.
20:56Oh, OK. There's the cascabel.
20:58You can really see that shape.
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined358
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda lot of targets to look at.
21:09Wait, wait! Slow down.
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined362
undefined:undefined363
undefined:undefined364
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedYou see all the growth on it?
21:31These items have been in the sea
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined370
undefined:undefined371
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto discuss diving operations.
21:47This is what we want to bring up?
21:49Yes, I think this would be important
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined377
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe've got to go down and get it.
22:07But diving this deep
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined383
undefined:undefined384
undefined:undefined385
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto be raising the voices of people
22:28who didn't have a voice.
22:29That tusk was worth
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined391
undefined:undefined392
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedreally strongly, it can help a lot
22:44of people identify with that.
22:46Absolutely, you should do it,
22:47but how do we do this
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined398
undefined:undefined399
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedplanning and a great support team.
23:03Our options are either tell
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined403
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI guess we're going for it.
23:14I think we should.
23:15I think we can do it.
23:26AFUA: 35F would have come to a fort
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined409
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand processed
23:41before being loaded
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined413
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedRight.
24:00By the 1700s, the slave trade
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined417
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedOK.
24:16That is a church.
24:20As this castle became a primary
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined422
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto use it as a Protestant church.
24:31All of these Europeans thought
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined426
undefined:undefined427
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis most upsetting is the kind
24:55of sexual abuse that happened
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined432
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand brought straight up
25:18to the officer's bedroom, washed,
25:19because they were kept in a state
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined437
undefined:undefined438
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhen I come here.
25:37I have Ghanaian family and I don't
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined443
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbut as a slave trader.
25:53He was Dutch. He worked
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined447
undefined:undefined448
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtheir relationship.
26:10Could it have been consensual?
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined456
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto the nearby Isles of Scilly
26:36to seek further evidence of
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined460
undefined:undefined461
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbreaking there, that's Round Rock.
26:52It probably floundered
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined465
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlarger than I thought it would be.
27:46We are now going to focus
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined473
undefined:undefined474
undefined:undefined475
undefined:undefined476
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof manilla that Kinga's found.
28:27We actually... we found a manilla
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined480
undefined:undefined481
undefined:undefined482
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpoignant, right?
28:47Unbelievable.
28:49This was something that was equal
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined489
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor a human life.
29:09It's been many decades since a local
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined493
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfrom the Duoro, yes.
29:35We found piles and piles of these,
29:38which we just didn't know
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined501
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedCurrency, one human being.
29:52Yes, it's quite... humbling,
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined505
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto the West Indies.
30:04We probably lifted two or three
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined512
undefined:undefined513
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhat these were worth.
30:25Obviously, worth more,
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined519
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof people were trafficked.
30:44Yes, but we have... I never knew
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined523
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda pocket watch.
31:07I didn't show you this.
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined535
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedjust looking at these artefacts,
31:32that, by themselves, you know,
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined539
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedknow... He's got a pocket watch,
31:46he's got a silver fork,
31:47he's got a pipe. Yeah.
31:49While the people below... Are dying.
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined545
undefined:undefined
Sailboats had existed
:undefinedfor thousands of years
32:12before the transatlantic
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined549
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbeautiful,
32:26it's sort of hard to imagine
32:28you could go all the way
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined556
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe see coming about
32:54in the 15th century.
32:55Because, before that, sails were set
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined562
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbasically sail into the wind.
33:09So, the triangular sails
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined567
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtechnology as a positive thing,
33:22but it's just heartbreaking
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined571
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto go southwards and along
33:35the western coast of Africa
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined576
undefined:undefined577
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbe careful!
33:58So, this is the hold.
34:00And it's really oppressive
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined582
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedutterly terrifying and miserable.
34:11The first thing you have to imagine
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined586
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedscreaming, moaning,
34:27begging for death, calling upon
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined590
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbetween one person and the next.
34:50Some captains did what they called
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined594
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto become ill.
35:04Actual time and thought was
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined599
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat their health would suffer
35:18if they were not allowed
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined604
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcarefully,
35:37the design of the slave ships,
35:39the most efficient way to put
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined611
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon the English Channel.
35:57We really need to take advantage
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined615
undefined:undefined616
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof the ocean.
36:19Nature does what she likes.
36:21Whether we have something
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined623
undefined:undefined624
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda voice to the silenced.
36:47And breathing new life into people
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined628
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat conditions are good, over.
37:04Copy.
37:07This is it, man. Really good
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined634
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe shipwreck
37:27and help us in our search for
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined638
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor the Royal Mint in London,
38:00sugar, and a few slaves held back
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined642
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedby one of the many storms
38:14that lash the English Channel.
38:16Only 45 miles from shore,
38:19the slaver went down with
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined651
undefined:undefined652
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthese depths and that makes it
39:20much harder to distinguish between
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined656
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe've launched ROV
39:42and we're just taking the clamp down
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined662
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedRich and Kieran are descending.
40:03It could take them up to
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined666
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe're going to do,
40:21we think about the job in hand.
40:24We try to almost foresee
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined672
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin to supply Rich and Kieran
40:43with extra air tanks and
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined676
undefined:undefined677
undefined:undefined678
undefined:undefined679
undefined:undefined680
undefined:undefined681
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon the ROV's video feed.
41:21Visual on the diver there.
41:24I see one diver.
41:27Still awaiting
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined691
undefined:undefined692
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlike a slab of wood.
42:18Likely, one of the final
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined696
undefined:undefined697
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin a small area,
42:42but it's pitch-black all around.
42:55DRUMMING
43:00AFUA: Many Europeans justified
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined704
undefined:undefined705
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto find out more.
43:16Slavery, or I choose to call it
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined709
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhighly structured society.
43:33At the bottom,
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined713
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin their own right.
43:49They could trade, acquire property
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined718
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe difference between the culture
44:03of slavery within Ashanti, compared
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined722
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhuman beings.
44:24How could the Asante reconcile
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined726
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhat the Europeans were bringing in.
44:42And, so, they give them the unfree
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined733
undefined:undefined734
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat they had played in, you know,
45:04making so many people suffer
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined738
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedjust limited to Africa.
45:20The Roman Empire was built
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined745
undefined:undefined746
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat these things broadly.
45:49SAM: The memories and images
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined751
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto their descendants.
46:13Kwame? Hello, Mr Jackson.
46:16Sam, man.
46:18So, let's look at what you got. OK.
46:23Are these just normally out
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined760
undefined:undefined761
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwho are on those ships? Yeah.
46:46So, right ahead, this is
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined765
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe head represents
47:10everything - your soul, your being,
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined772
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwere actually living beings
47:27and you can relate to them.Mm-hm.
47:28And it's that that I'm trying
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined778
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfrom the motherland, from Africa.
47:54I'm trying to have as many
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined782
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbecause I can just look
48:08in just one section right here
48:11and I can identify people
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined787
undefined:undefined788
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
Severn Seas:undefinedand Seeker, status report.
48:45The divers have been at the bottom
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined793
undefined:undefined794
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon this wreck site, ever.
49:15I'm literally above a ship
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined799
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfour hours in the water.
49:38That's my personal reward.
49:44The deep divers have found
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined805
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
Kieran secures the tusk
:undefinedto the basket, which will be hoisted
50:15up to the ship.
50:19After 20 minutes on the bottom...
50:22Kieran and Richard
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined812
undefined:undefined813
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedas the danger is not over.
50:39In fact, the ascent is one
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined818
undefined:undefined819
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat time we're at that great depth,
51:12we've absorbed a lot of inert gas
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined823
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda complete system failure,
51:30then we have to rely on you guys
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined828
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor Rich and Kieran.
51:46If need be, we're ready to grab the
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined833
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedan emergency gas cylinder
52:03with 100% oxygen in, in case
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined838
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfrom the deep.
52:25OK. We're starting to see something
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined843
undefined:undefined844
undefined:undefined845
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
Now that they've made it
:undefinedto the final station, we keep an eye
52:52on Rich and Kieran during
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined850
undefined:undefined851
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin the cold Atlantic waters.
53:27And now,
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined858
undefined:undefined859
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof enslaved Africans.
54:19I don't know how to describe it.
54:21This is unbelievable.
54:23If it's the final resting place
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined865
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe language "slaves" on the ship.
54:57People speak in terms
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined871
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey were people.
55:15I can't imagine
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined875
undefined:undefined876
undefined:undefined877
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto do things I do not want to do.
55:37There are generations who think
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined882
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedby African slavery.
56:23This is where people who were
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined886
undefined:undefined887
undefined:undefined888
undefined:undefined889
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtheir names would be changed,
56:41they would have a life of
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined893
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyou feel sorrow when you see this?"
57:02Still a feeling of anger for me.
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760
undefined:undefined899
undefined:undefined
