0:57:36 > 0:57:37But that's what the preacher said.
0:57:37 > 0:57:39- You ain't a preacher. - Your mama is right.
0:57:39 > 0:57:42You're not a preacher.
0:57:42 > 0:57:43Cos preachers are...
0:57:44 > 0:57:46Hmm?
0:57:46 > 0:57:47SHE GIGGLES
0:57:48 > 0:57:52Besides, hell is not punishment enough for the toubab.
0:57:54 > 0:57:56How will the toubabs be punished?
0:57:56 > 0:58:00What did I just tell you? God will take care of us.
0:58:00 > 0:58:02Now eat your food.
0:58:08 > 0:58:10OK, that's good. That's good.
0:58:10 > 0:58:11You don't want to make him fat.
0:58:11 > 0:58:14No, I want him to get fat, Fa.
0:58:14 > 0:58:16- Why? - So he'll be happy.
0:58:17 > 0:58:19But if he's fat, he can't run, eh?
0:58:19 > 0:58:21And it's running that makes him most happy.
0:58:21 > 0:58:24Running makes him feel free, eh?
0:58:24 > 0:58:25Hi, Uncle Toby!
0:58:25 > 0:58:29Kizzy, I brought you a bonnet!
0:58:29 > 0:58:30Toby, can we see how it fits?
0:58:30 > 0:58:33Auntie Belle said yes. We'll just be right outside.
0:58:33 > 0:58:36Wait! Don't go far.
0:58:36 > 0:58:39- Hey, Kizzy! - Hey, stupid.
0:58:46 > 0:58:49Oh, it's so pretty! Thank you!
0:58:49 > 0:58:51Hold on. Over here.
0:58:52 > 0:58:55- Goes with my dress. - Sit down right here.
0:58:56 > 0:58:59MAN SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY IN DISTANCE
0:59:04 > 0:59:06I thought we could read together.
0:59:06 > 0:59:07- Missy! - I'm just learning,
0:59:07 > 0:59:08but I can teach you what I know.
0:59:08 > 0:59:10But Mama said
0:59:10 > 0:59:12slaves have been whipped and put in jail,
0:59:12 > 0:59:15- and even...- So we just got to keep it a secret.
0:59:15 > 0:59:16But...
0:59:16 > 0:59:18Cos you and me are friends.
0:59:18 > 0:59:20Ain't we?
0:59:22 > 0:59:24Yes.
0:59:24 > 0:59:25You and me are friends.
0:59:25 > 0:59:27For always.
0:59:27 > 0:59:29For always.
0:59:33 > 0:59:35- "A." - "A."
0:59:35 > 0:59:36Like an apple.
0:59:36 > 0:59:38- "B." - "B."

0:59:39 > 0:59:42- "C." - "C."
0:59:42 > 0:59:43Like a...a cat.
0:59:43 > 0:59:45- COUGHING - Father!
0:59:47 > 0:59:49Missy, what are you doing out here all alone
0:59:49 > 0:59:51with a little nigger girl, huh?
0:59:51 > 0:59:53We were just playing, Papa.
0:59:53 > 0:59:56Yeah, well, this one is devious.
0:59:56 > 0:59:57Just like her father.
0:59:57 > 1:00:00Anything you need, Massa Waller?
1:00:00 > 1:00:03I can, uh, get Belle to cook you up something real good.
1:00:06 > 1:00:08HE BREATHES HEAVILY
1:00:08 > 1:00:10LEATHER CREAKS
1:00:13 > 1:00:14You take me for a fool, boy?
1:00:14 > 1:00:16Hmm?
1:00:16 > 1:00:18Huh?
1:00:18 > 1:00:20No, Massa.
1:00:20 > 1:00:22This piccaninny of yours
1:00:22 > 1:00:24is trying to beguile my innocent little girl.
1:00:24 > 1:00:27You think I'm going to stand by and let that happen,
1:00:27 > 1:00:29you have another thing coming.
1:00:32 > 1:00:33STOMPS FOOT
1:00:33 > 1:00:35You understand me, boy?
1:00:37 > 1:00:38Yes, Massa.

1:01:04 > 1:01:06Why do you get to decide?
1:01:06 > 1:01:08I'm white, and the Bible says
1:01:08 > 1:01:11white people are made in the image of God.
1:01:11 > 1:01:14This one's my favourite.
1:01:14 > 1:01:16Good. She can be my wife.
1:01:16 > 1:01:18- DEEP VOICE:- Fetch me my dinner, woman.
1:01:18 > 1:01:19Get it yourself.
1:01:19 > 1:01:21A good wife obeys her husband.
1:01:21 > 1:01:24Sort of like a slave has to obey her master?
1:01:26 > 1:01:28Guess us girls ain't that different after all.
1:01:28 > 1:01:30Your nigger's stupid.
1:01:30 > 1:01:32Stop being so cross.
1:01:32 > 1:01:34Well, I hope that smart-mouth piccaninny
1:01:34 > 1:01:36stabs you in your sleep.

1:01:53 > 1:01:59was just asking Kizzy to bring us some refreshments.
1:01:59 > 1:02:01That's what you all were screaming at?
1:02:01 > 1:02:04Well, Kizzy, go fetch some refreshments for the girls.
1:02:04 > 1:02:07Yes, ma'am. 'Scuse me, ladies.
1:02:09 > 1:02:11Careful with that, Kizzy.
1:02:11 > 1:02:13They want to have that tonight for dinner?
1:02:13 > 1:02:15I believe so.
1:02:38 > 1:02:41Happy birthday, Kizzy!
1:02:46 > 1:02:48- Missy, it's beautiful!- Ah!
1:02:48 > 1:02:50I was worried sick about orderin' it
1:02:50 > 1:02:52without Mama asking pesky questions.
1:02:52 > 1:02:56But then I realised we have the same initials! Hmm?
1:02:56 > 1:02:58Melissa Kathryn Waller.
1:02:58 > 1:02:59Miss Kizzy Waller.
1:02:59 > 1:03:02I'm such a ninny, I didn't realise it before.
1:03:02 > 1:03:03I'll never be able to thank you.
1:03:03 > 1:03:05Oh, no great shakes.
1:03:05 > 1:03:07Now, listen, Mama keeps going on
1:03:07 > 1:03:10about shipping me off to London for finishing school.
1:03:10 > 1:03:12And I know you don't believe in God,
1:03:12 > 1:03:13but say a prayer anyway.
1:03:13 > 1:03:15Oh, yeah.
1:03:15 > 1:03:18Jesus sure have taken care of us Negroes(!)
1:03:18 > 1:03:20Time's running short. What's your fancy?
1:03:20 > 1:03:24You already know all the dreadful Shakespeare dramas by heart, huh?
1:03:24 > 1:03:26What's this monstrosity?
1:03:26 > 1:03:31Dr John Hunter's Gross Anatomy.
1:03:31 > 1:03:32Mm.
1:03:34 > 1:03:36Oh, eugh!
1:03:36 > 1:03:38Is that really what it looks like on the inside?
1:03:38 > 1:03:40I will never, ever have a baby.
1:03:40 > 1:03:42Oh, don't be hysterical.
1:03:45 > 1:03:47How does it stand up like that?
1:03:47 > 1:03:48I...

1:03:54 > 1:03:56"of the corpus spongiosum."
1:03:56 > 1:04:00Ugh, look at all that corpus... and hair.
1:04:00 > 1:04:03Do you have any hair down there?
1:04:03 > 1:04:04Hmm?
1:04:04 > 1:04:06Have you lost your senses?!
1:04:06 > 1:04:08Let me see! It's my right.

1:04:10 > 1:04:12Kizzy, Miss Missy, y'all in here?
1:04:12 > 1:04:13Yes.
1:04:15 > 1:04:17Well, what is it?
1:04:17 > 1:04:19Your governess is here to fetch you home.
1:04:21 > 1:04:23Happy birthday, Kizzy.

1:04:27 > 1:04:28Noah.
1:04:32 > 1:04:35Bless your heart.
1:04:35 > 1:04:40Perhaps it would help if you ate some peaches.
1:04:40 > 1:04:42SHE LAUGHS
1:04:54 > 1:04:56Happy birthday, young lady!
1:04:56 > 1:04:59- My, how you've blossomed! - See you tomorrow!

1:05:02 > 1:05:05- Thank you, Massa.- Kizzy.
1:05:05 > 1:05:07Mother needs help in the sick cabin.

1:05:08 > 1:05:10We'll ride later, when it is less...wet.
1:05:10 > 1:05:12What...what...uh, what is she?
1:05:12 > 1:05:14She's 15?
1:05:14 > 1:05:16Yes, Massa.
1:05:16 > 1:05:19Well, I suppose it's about time that I bred her...
1:05:19 > 1:05:21with Noah, here.
1:05:21 > 1:05:23What do you think about that, Noah?
1:05:25 > 1:05:28But, uh, Kizzy has not reached womanhood.
1:05:28 > 1:05:30- Hasn't she by now? - No, sir.
1:05:30 > 1:05:32Her mother knows for sure, and that's what she says.
1:05:32 > 1:05:34Well, it won't be long.
1:05:34 > 1:05:36All in good time, Noah, eh?
1:05:36 > 1:05:38HE WHISTLES

1:06:38 > 1:06:40And how do you know what you'll be wearing?
1:06:40 > 1:06:41You must be prepared at all times.
1:06:41 > 1:06:44GRUNTING
1:06:50 > 1:06:51Are you defeated?
1:06:52 > 1:06:53Go!
1:06:54 > 1:06:56Faster.

1:07:11 > 1:07:13Do not allow yourself to be defeated.
1:07:13 > 1:07:15They can put the chains on your body.
1:07:15 > 1:07:18Never let them put the chains on your mind.
1:07:18 > 1:07:22You are the daughter of Belle Kinte and Kunta Kinte.

1:09:21 > 1:09:24# Baby, when I rise
1:09:24 > 1:09:25# When I rise... #
1:09:25 > 1:09:27Kizzy, it's been a while now.
1:09:27 > 1:09:29And I ain't told nobody, just like I said.
1:09:29 > 1:09:31And I won't.
1:09:31 > 1:09:33Will you please teach me how to read?
1:09:38 > 1:09:40SINGING CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY
1:09:40 > 1:09:43Either way, this is for you.
1:09:43 > 1:09:45# Cuttin' sugar
1:09:45 > 1:09:46# Runnin' my right side
1:09:46 > 1:09:48# For the baby
1:09:48 > 1:09:50# Runnin' my right side

1:10:07 > 1:10:11And you follow this creek to the water wheel.
1:10:11 > 1:10:13Then you make your way across the field home.
1:10:13 > 1:10:15Return before the Massa sees you.
1:10:15 > 1:10:17- OK.- Fa.
1:10:17 > 1:10:19If we were in Juffure, could I be a Mandinka warrior?
1:10:19 > 1:10:21HE LAUGHS
1:10:21 > 1:10:24No. A woman cannot be a warrior in Juffure.
1:10:25 > 1:10:27But they don't know what I know about you.
1:10:27 > 1:10:30Now, Kizzy,
1:10:30 > 1:10:33this country will always be dangerous for you, mm?
1:10:33 > 1:10:35Many massas, massas' sons, overseers,
1:10:35 > 1:10:38rape slave women and pay no price.
1:10:38 > 1:10:42Now, if you ever feel you must kill a toubab,
1:10:42 > 1:10:45then do it without hesitation.
1:10:45 > 1:10:48Only if you are prepared to die yourself.
1:10:48 > 1:10:51That is your choice to make.
1:10:51 > 1:10:53Do you understand?
1:10:53 > 1:10:55Yes.
1:10:55 > 1:10:58Good.
1:10:58 > 1:11:00Come. Come.
1:11:08 > 1:11:10Ready.
1:11:10 > 1:11:11Be careful.
1:11:16 > 1:11:17Yes.
1:11:22 > 1:11:25What if a...a patrol finds her?
1:11:25 > 1:11:27My Kintango would make us do far worse.
1:11:27 > 1:11:29I don't want to hear nothing about no Africa!
1:11:29 > 1:11:30This is our only child!
1:11:30 > 1:11:32She has the spirit of a warrior.
1:11:32 > 1:11:34She is a child.
1:11:34 > 1:11:35Yes.
1:11:35 > 1:11:37And I can't protect her.
1:11:39 > 1:11:40Fa!
1:11:40 > 1:11:42It felt like the water was talkin' to me.
1:11:42 > 1:11:44Leading me home.
1:11:44 > 1:11:46Mm.
1:11:46 > 1:11:50When I became a warrior, mm-hmm,
1:11:50 > 1:11:53my mother gave me beads just like these.
1:12:02 > 1:12:04SHE SIGHS
1:12:06 > 1:12:09The best one is about a slave who convinces his massa to free him.
1:12:09 > 1:12:10H-How'd he do that?
1:12:10 > 1:12:13I sure want to learn that trick.
1:12:13 > 1:12:15By using logic, and arguing that no man
1:12:15 > 1:12:17should ever deny another's liberty.
1:12:17 > 1:12:19I like that.
1:12:19 > 1:12:20And I don't know why Massa threw it out.
1:12:20 > 1:12:23It must've been an abolitionist who wrote this.
1:12:23 > 1:12:26All other toubab might applaud the speaker's skill
1:12:26 > 1:12:28but vehemently reject the conclusion.
1:12:30 > 1:12:32Wh... When I found this, I told myself,
1:12:32 > 1:12:34"Before I die,
