"

The 90 minute film, Slavery By Another Name, based on a book by journalist Douglas A. Blackmon, chronicles how hundreds of thousands of blacks in the South continued to exist in a form of quasi-slavery well into the 20th Century.

Black Enterprise: Director Sam Pollard Discusses Slavery By Another Name

The documentary, to be broadcast on PBS stations nationwide, tells the disturbing story of how, even after the end of chattel slavery, new forms of involuntary servitude, including convict leasing, debt slavery and peonage, took its place."

"Pollard’s latest is Slavery By Another Name, an illuminating documentary about the new system of human labor trafficking and involuntary servitude that White Southerners developed to subjugate many African-Americans for years after the abolition of slavery. The film is adapted from a Pulitzer Prize-winning book of the same name by journalist Douglas Blackmon and features narration by Laurence Fishburne. BlackEnterprise.com caught up with Pollard to discuss the film, which premieres tonight, February 13, 2012 at 9pm EST on PBS, and how it opens a door to a largely forgotten episode of American history."
