Synopsis

In 1831, Nat Turner, an African American slave and preacher, ignited a violent slave revolt in Southampton County, Virginia. The uprising was a desperate struggle for freedom from oppression for enslaved African and American people of color. This one-hour documentary follows Roger Guenveur Smith as he journeys to Southampton County, visiting the locations where Turner lived, fought, and died. He speaks with academics, local residents, and descendants to explore the complexities surrounding this often misunderstood historical figure. The film examines historical and ongoing racial tensions and questions why Turner is not widely recognized as a pivotal early black revolutionary who significantly impacted the nation's development.
