A's reaction to the 'living' conditions they will suffer through on the boat matched my own. I could only imagine the smell @ENGL4401

[Nicole @nicoleENG4401]

when they first set on the boat and it's just pure chaos with so many people the camera does a good job of capturing A's reaction @ENGL4401

[Nicole @nicoleENG4401]

The mini series The Book of Negroes made a lot of the things I read about much more shocking to see on screen @ENGL4401
