Storyline

Over 150 years from today, back in 1863 at Lousiana, a black slave, Gordon, had dreamt of the freedom of black people. Freedom means living their life to the fullest, just like their "White" masters: who considered themselves god of 'these Animals'. 'Emancipation' is a tale of a black slave who fought his whole life to live with honor, dignity, and of course, a "Normal life" This is the tale of a person who risked his life to join the Lincoln Army, fighting to free his fellow brothers-sisters-sons-daughters. This image of Gordon was taken in 1863 after he managed to be free from his slave master. This is the most accurate depiction of slavery I've seen. In America in 1863, Peter is a black American forced into rigorous manual labour in plantations and subjected to torture by the owners. When slavery is abolished by President Lincoln he escapes and is chased through jungles and swamps by his oppressors. Does he achieve freedom after undergoing suffering ? — madanmarwah
