This project imagines a scenario in which white plantation owners in the 18th century are abducted and enslaved in a Caribbean island, providing a potential alternate view of history. By reversing the race of the characters vis a vis the historical record, it puts into perspective commonly held assumptions about slavery and slave culture.But the project is not a mere gimmick: it is at its core a heartfelt story of love and survival in the face of tragedy and seemingly insurmountable odds.
