Summary
Based on true events, this film chronicles the 1839 revolt on board a slave ship bound for America. When the ship, La Amistad, is recaptured the Black Africans are brought to the United States where they are charged with murder. Much of the story involves the court-room drama about the slave who led the revolt, a battle that captured the attention of the entire nation, confronting the foundations of the American justice system.
