Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North. Traces of the Trade offers a new and provocative perspective on the slave trade. The film follows ten descendants as they journey along the Triangle Trade route. Traces of the Trade is a compelling documentary which not only offers its audience the opportunity to reflect on the often untold story of the North's role in the slave trade, but also provides a context to discuss ways in which citizens can work to build connections among diverse individuals and organizations today.
