This unprecedented historical documentary recounts the empowering story of Maroons in the U.S. circa 1600s to 1800s. Maroons were fugitive slaves who managed to survive in the wild and evade recapture. They formed independent communities and alliances with certain Native American tribes. They fought for freedom against the British and American governments. This pivotal chapter of African-American history has been largely kept out of U.S. history books. Part 1 takes us through the beginning of their story.
