The day of death Beautiful has finally arrived.

Let's go back to our origins.

Let's go back to the sea unleashed.

Come on!

My love,

...I beg you,

Don't forget me.

Take care of our daughter,

...promise me!

Remember, Massamba,

...by your wizard's power.

Through your ancestral prayers,

...you will save yours.

Hold, go to your mother.

Come on, run!

Stop!

Seva was never so brown.

Much sucrose. Pressing is good.

I never had such quality.

Cicero.

Have you heard something?

Mmh. Nothing, Master.

Mmh.

There are only two weeks of harvest.

Give news, it is not time to weaken the work.

I rely on you.

Come on.

Cicero ...

Cicero.

Cicero.

Cicero.

Cicero.

The most cowardly of the wizards ...

You abandoned us, didn't you?

We should stab you.

Dog of whites!

"I am ... colette ..."

It's good.

"I will ... I will be."

"I will be..."

What do you have?

Ruba guided me.

A path goes to the southwest.

It unites with Fi-Boumi-Diam-Yi-Dogue.

We can run.

F-Boumi-Diam-Yi-Dogue does not exist.

Do you hear me?

Everyone who leaves there die.

We take it from the beginning.

"I will be a tailor."

At his first run,

The fugitive slave will be marked with the lily flower.

If he relapses ...

His ears and tendons will be cut.

I thought you smarter.

Why are you doing this?

Malgașii, they ...

Never try to run away.

You, Wolofii,

...you forced me to do that.

Cicero, tell them the third rule.

To the third run,

...it will be death.

This code,

is the law.

There was never an execution here.

Do in such a way as to It never happens.

Hey, Mati!

Reassten yourself, I'm here.

Listen to me.

Stay with me.

Hey hey, hey!

Don't worry, I'll drive him away.

It will be fine.

What do you want?

Spirit, I see you.

Leave my hut!

What do you see, dad?

On mothers ngessou.

Did he go?

It's not a coincidence! He took the appearance of your mother.

Dad, she can help us.

Let it enter.

You have the power, everyone will follow you.

We'll kill our masters ... We'll kill them all.

Father... - Shut up.

- Dad ... - Shut up.

Shut up.

Ready, Colette!

Mmh?

My name is Mati, not Colette.

No Colette.

Your name is Colette.

Learn their language,

And you will be a tailor, away from here.

You will not be whipped or raped.

And one day,

you will be released.

You trust me.

How many tons of sugar?

On average eight, excellence.

Those in the family Bourgoing do twelve.

Take a water mill, as they did.

To keep their mill.

I bought a reed crush, as it exists in Americas.

We'll overcome them soon those in the Bourgoing family.

How many escapes of slaves?

Very few.

On my lands, I only have three lily flowers

and two cut ears.

My system works.

We'll see that.

Bring it to your slave.

Ah, Cicero.

The new governor makes us honor a visit shortly after his arrival.

Wanted to meet you.

So you are the slave who speaks our language?

You will help me understand them better on your peers?

Okay.

In your opinion, Should blacks be free?

We, Blacks, have been created

...on the fifth day of creation.

At the same time with animals.

You, our masters,

...you were conceived on the sixth day.

So we have a duty to serve you.

What eloquence!

Isn't it?

Illuminate me.

Why a slave so trained work on the field?

Shouldn't there be a slave in the house?

Cicero plays a crucial role in organizing the harvest.

And then most importantly, is the fact that ...

know the state of spirit of his fellows.

It is precious, very precious.

The King of France has charged me here to prevent the escape of slaves.

You could explain to me why so many slaves run?

I don't know.

Come on, he must have heard something.

He speaks without fear, Cicero.

Come on.

Maybe ...

hard work or fatigue.

I thought I had to to work like animals.

Answer me, animal!

Get out!

Look, Negrule!

Cicero!

Leave this room please.

Please excuse him.

A black so insolent, is against nature.

Is it trained?

- I taught him everything. - Honore.

Oh, let him continue please.

I grew up here, among the slaves.

I understood very quickly that some were looking to get up.

Cicero was a prodigious student.

He convinced me

...that blacks belong to the human race.

Do you know the lady at Victoire?

The fugitive slave hunt.

Who doesn't know her here?

You know, like me, that he is approaching the blacks.

Mmh.

But he doesn't share your opinions.

I don't know what its degree of humanism is.

Oh, exempt me from this word.

I heard him too much in the salons touched by the disease of enlightenment.

The disease is your blindness.

- arrive. - You are a man of the past and ...

Honore!

How do you dare?

Sons observe their fathers and imitate them.

Your lands belong to the crown.

You only have their concession.

Come back.

Under my leadership, they will no longer exist free-professionals in Isle-de-France.

I hope your bastards are behave better than your son.

Lead you.

You only thought of yourself!

Without caring about consequences.

Ah, you can be proud.

Look at me.

Look at me!

Go to look for Cicero.

Starting from this in the evening, everything will change.

From now on, you will no longer have not the slightest contact.

I withdraw all your privileges.

You will cut the reed.

You will no longer live with your daughter.

She will come here under my roof.

- I beg you, Master. - quiet.

Disappear in front of me.

Marius.

Accompany him to his hut.

Return with Colette.

Please don't do this to my daughter.

I will kill her if you are more insist.

Colette. The master calls you.

Father?

Mati!

Mati!

Mati!

Mati!

Where's my daughter?

Get back right back!

Colette left there.

I lost it.

Go and call it to Victoire.

Okay, master.

You have to participate to this hunt.

The island must know, to the governor.

Just know my ideas. You can't ask me that.

Honore.

I gave up everything for this earth.

At my death, it will come back to you.

We can't afford to lose it.

And your mother would not have preferred to stay united?

Very good.

I will go with them.

To you and, for your land.

But when I bring Colette back,

...give up to punish her by disgrace.

Think too what my mother would have believed.

In memory of your mother,

I give you this.

And for Cicero?

Come on! Are you going to talk?

Yoro, continues.

Harder.

Tell us where he left!

Talk!

Lady.

The amount is correct.

Keep your money, Larcenet.

Our mother is working now for public good.

Has a pension of 600 pounds.

Since when did the slave ran away?

10, 11 hours, approximately.

On foot or riding?

On the floor.

In which direction?

I lost it in the Black Forest.

And he, who is he?

He is her father.

Refuse to speak.

You know

Who am I?

Yes, I know, ma'am.

This is the first time your daughter runs away.

Yes, ma'am.

Do you know where it goes?

Not.

You don't seem to understand.

If others find it before me, they will kill it.

As proof of her death, they will bring her head.

That's the custom.

I always bring them on my living fugitives.

I believe in the virtues of the punishment.

For the one who receives it And for those who look at it.

Don't you believe me?

Yes.

Tell me where he goes, because you know.

No, I ...

I don't know, I swear.

Who was it close to?

Fi-Boumi-Diam-Yi-Dogue!

Fi-boumi-diam-yi-doge?

Bring me a coat of fugitive. He left to the southwest.

How so?

"Fi-Boumi-Diam-Yi-Dogue", a legend of slaves.

A group of rage slaves who would live in freedom, in the southwest.

Your man will come with us to identify it.

Lead us to the place where it has disappeared.

Take my son.

It will slow us down.

Let me ride and you will judge.

Yoro, you accompany them.

Began to run.

Met a man.

He struggled.

He calmed down.

They continued their way together.

Is no longer alone.

Ruba!

I beg you, help me.

There are no traces.

They will end up leaving their hole.

Let's get on the fish

And let's see.

Ruba, I will never forget what you did.

My love ...

Listen to my voice,

I see our daughter.

We waste our time.

I'm already away.

I agree with Joseph.

Patience, my son.

Go to her,

Never stop, Massamba.

The sun will guide you.

So do you eat?

Are you black too?

If we do not put manners in Our gestures, then who to do it?

Who will show them the path of the savages?

We are going

From the east

Through forests and mountains.

No matter how great our efforts,

We will always serve you.

Angelus rang in the distance.

Here is the hour of prayer

Bless this Bread and this wine.

The hand of the hungry.

Amen.

Do these prayers make any meaning to you?

Do you doubt that?

You don't feel obliged.

I am not obliged by anything.

These prayers saved my life.

Every time I have dare to doubt the Lord.

When I thought I didn't deserve to live.

They brought me back to light.

In those moments the angels in heaven they had the face of my sons.

You know, ma'am,

I know your story.

I know that... - One more word

You cut your tongue. - Leave.

I want to hear this story.

I know you have been abused

When you were just a child.

I know that, teenager,

...you have been married to force with a man you detest.

You are the first woman on the island who divorced.

It's true.

Of all the colonists living on this island,

...you are, can, one of the only people...

who knew on his flesh...

...pain comparable to those of slaves.

You should be the first to know

...that no being on this earth It is not worth such horrors.

I don't know anything.

I obey. To my king, the law and heaven.

Eminent theologians agreed that blacks have no soul.

To question the Holy Church?

I know you doubt.

And that the screams haunt you.

By ignoring them nothing will change.

Doubt is part of the faith.

My love,

Do you feel next to you?

Let me go in.

You need to renew the covenant

your ancestors.

Follow me.

PSST!

Ssst! Ssst!

Ssst.

- I'm there! - Run!

I see them!

I'm there!

Cicero!

You have to surrender.

You trust me.

Not!

Fast, come with me.

Ssst!

He spared me.

I'm here.

Do you work for white?

I am looking for fi-biam-doum-yi-doge.

I'm looking for my daughter.

Sit down.

Eat.

Thank you.

This uniform

Where did you find it?

It's mine.

I had everything, my friend.

All!

I spilled my blood For whites in France.

I shed it for them and here, in these islands.

And they made me a citizen.

Ah, the whites of France.

Mmh.

They loved me so much.

Then why are you a fugitive?

They burned the paper that released me.

Could have killed me.

Should have been.

Left my life.

As a good Christian did.

The Lord urges us to spare him.

As he spared me.

To those who made us wrong.

No one has ever found it on Fi-Boumi-Diam-Yi-Dogue.

Your daughter will end up abandoning.

Will want to go to sea.

Change yourself.

A broken branch at every twenty steps.

The fugitive slaves going to Madagascar It looks like the path of others.

At the end of the road, You will find a fishing canoe.

Steal them from the white.

And I go out.

The Lord goes with us.

He knows that we go on the path of the righteous.

We don't have to have any doubts.

Joseph, you're right.

The fugitive slave is here. I feel it.

He probably found his daughter.

We will follow them without ceasing.

I will not hunt him, he spared me.

The Lord showed me,

last night.

"He's cruised you." - No.

The face of the fugitive slave was there,

in front of my eyes.

- I read his gaze, it was his decision. Shut up!

I will remain what I am.

A Frenchman. A black hunter, and your son.

This pursuit does not belong to me.

I will take Honore back to his father.

I will wait for you.

What are you doing?

Stay here.

Stay here!

Stay here!

Do you abandon me for a black?

And your mother? Lanch!

You abandon your brother!

I have all the time in the world.

So tell me, you saw any fugitive slave passing here?

Talk to me.

Okay.

I can't talk.

I'm a dead goat.

The dead goat is not afraid of the knife.

Where do you get this uniform?

I served the King of France.

And you, devil ...

What does your life taste like?

A taste of shit!

My mother is the pride of our island.

- "Island? - ours.

Even under the ground ...

It's our island!

Not yours.

Quickly, he is looking for us.

On the cliff.

I don't want to run anymore.

What do you want to do?

You were right, my daughter.

I have to renew the covenant.

Mama ngessou,

In the dark, I read your name,

With your law, I warm my forehead.

It was called Ramatou.

The bird wanted to be captured.

My ancestors tied them a foot talisman.

The bird flew, and the men From our clan they followed it.

Follow by women and children.

In each place where the bird stopped, Our ancestors founded a village.
