Our story begins with the introduction of Olaudah Equiano in a meeting with Granville Sharp. The slave world now intrudes upon Georgian society and the conflict within our story therefore begins.
England, 1792 At the opening of our film there exists two separate worlds in 18th century Britain - the world of freed slaves living in England, and mainstream society - each containing a small group of characters upon whom we focus the audiences' interest. Our drama consists in the collision of these two worlds that stand in direct opposition to each other.—Anonymous
