Reporter
"Bottom Line: An honest, painful and important doc about one family's
confrontation with its legacy as slave traders. Powerful is an inadequate
word to describe the impact of Katrina Browne's "Traces of the Trade:
A Story from the Deep North," an examination of her forebears, the
DeWolf family of Bristol, Rhode Island, the largest slave traders
in U.S. history."
From Filmcatcher
"This
film, has a fresh, almost hand held camera look,
and there are
great images peppered though out."

READ THE BOOK
Inheriting the Trade by Thomas Norman DeWolf
"Inheriting the Trade" is like a slow-motion mash-up,
a first person view from within one of the country's founding families
as it splinters, then puts itself back together again." -
Edward Ball, author of Slaves in the Family
