Working for the UN, we often have the opportunity to attend engaging events, including film screenings and panel discussions with experts and celebrities.
This upcoming Tuesday, 4 October, is one such occasion.
You are invited to the ECOSOC Chamber for a screening of the second episode of the six-part series Enslaved: The Lost History of the Transatlantic Slave Trade from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm EDT.
This episode, entitled “Rationalization”, follows the journey of enslaved people and was shot on location in Ghana, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
It examines how people at the time justified the brutal 400-year transatlantic trade in enslaved Africans and how the ideology of racism started.
Award-winning journalist and series host Afua Hirsch will be present for an in-person post-screening discussion, moderated by Maher Nasser, Director of the Department of Global Communications’ Outreach Division.
More information, in addition to the film trailer, is available on this website.
