Short film
Tropikos
2016 · 37 min
A slow, haunting visual essay that drifts between past and present, asking you to sit with uncomfortable history rather than follow a story.
- Directed by
- John Akomfrah
- Overview
- Tropikos transforms the landscape of the Tamar Valley in the South West of England into a sixteenth-century port of exploration on the African continent in order to reveal the deep-rooted and darker history of the river and the UK’s role in the development and proliferation of the slave trade.
