Amistad,
based loosely on the true story of a slave mutiny aboard the 1839 slave ship, Amistad,
takes us into the courtroom as 50 captured African slaves fight for their
freedom and right to return to Africa. The incident involves the United States Supreme
Court as well as President Martin Van Buren (Nigel Hawthorne). It’s a true-to-form Stephen
Spielberg classic about greed, power, and evil being thwarted by the few just
individuals who fight for right. The tale is told through the eyes of Cinque
(Djimon Hounsou), the leader of the African ship revolt.
