In an attempt to bring you what has to be the most intense, possibly traumatic show in recent memory, Fremantle has acquired the global rights to
Enslaved, a six-part Canadian docuseries
hosted by Samuel L. Jackson that seeks to uncover “the horrors of slavery as revealed through underwater archaeology.” The focus of the show, directed by filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici, is the Middle Passage, the path taken by slave traders transporting enslaved African people to America across the Atlantic. Deadline notes that Fremantle’s rights exclude North America and Israel, and boy, you’d hope audiences in the United States could see this whenever possible.
