Dance Is Us and Dance Is Black
Mike Downing
Synopsis
The film is a love duet about a girl and her lover. Slave resistance at times included the slaves’ refusal to dance their African traditional dances aboard the slave ship at the beck and call of the Captain. Inspired by the print by Isaac Cruikshank, entitled 'the Abolition of the Slave Trade', the inhumanity of dealers in human flesh is exemplified by the cruel treatment of a young negro girl of 15. This is all happening in her imagination.
