SUMMARY:AMISTAD@First-Fri. Free Film Series at the Peace Center of Delaware County
DESCRIPTION:\nAmistad\n1997. 155 minutes. Historical drama. Rated R for violence and nudity. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Stars Morgan Freeman\, Matthew McConaughey\, Anthony Hopkins\, and Djimon Hounsou.\n \nIn the summer of 1839\, on a stormy night off the coast of Cuba\, 53 Africans held captive in the cramped cargo holds of the Spanish slave ship La Amistad break free of their shackles. Led by Cinque\, portrayed by Djimon Hounsou whose performance was\, in a long line of black actors\, overlooked at Oscar time. \nThe Africans arm themselves\, take control of the ship and reclaim their freedom. They have one goal: to go home to Africa. The ship was eventually captured by an American naval ship off the coast of Connecticut and the Africans were charged with murder and piracy\, as well as championed by abolitionists Theodore Joadson and Lewis Tappan\, and a young real estate attorney named Roger Baldwin. \nThe case becomes a symbol of a nation divided over the crime of slavery. Pro-slavery President Martin Van Buren\, seeking re-election\, is willing to sacrifice the Africans to appease the South\, as well as Queen Isabella of Spain who maintains that the Africans are “property” of Spain.  \nFormer President John Quincy Adams comes out of retirement to fight the Africans’ cause before the United State Supreme Court with an argument\, the delivery of which you will not soon forget. \nAnthony Hopkins in a very brief but masterful portrayal of Adams which earned him a best supporting actor Oscar. \nAMISTAD is a historical drama that arguably stands among Steven Spielberg’s finest and most important films\, all the more important now considering life a time of Trump.  \nSee it\, with others\, during this 4th of July week.  For more information and directions to the Peace Center of Delaware County\, visit www.delcopeacecenter.org\n \n
