Focusing on the portrayal of slavery in contemporary films, this book examines how recent cinematic works reflect historical accuracy and the representation of male protagonists. It highlights the resurgence of slavery as a relevant topic in the film industry, particularly influenced by societal changes in the 2010s. The analysis reveals that while some films fail to accurately depict the realities of slavery, they often adhere to a common narrative structure centered on a hero's quest for freedom, despite differing storylines.
