This film looks at over 400 years of the British monarchy as it relates to colonialism and the slave trade, with calls today for restorative justice and reparation. For adults. Please register.

Award-winning filmmaker Shelley Jarrett’s documentary, What We Deserve – Restorative Justice and Reparation, examines over 400 years of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and the major roles played by European powers, including the British, Portuguese, French and Dutch. The trade of chained bodies was a highly successful commercial business for the nations of Europe—destroying the lives of millions of men, women and children in search of profit. Filled with potent reflections and insightful commentary, this film presents the centuries of unaddressed harm faced by the victims of the slave trade and their descendants and champions their calls for restorative justice and reparations.
