All Equal! ()

“A grandfather's haunting tale of enslavement and rebellion unfolds by a fire, revealing a family's harrowing journey from captivity to self-liberation.”

· 16m

"All Equal!" is an evocative animated film that unfolds around a village fire where a grandfather narrates the poignant tale of his ancestors and their enslavement to his eager grandchildren. As the story begins, the children are transported to a time when their great-grandfather and his brothers were kidnapped by slave traders. The narrative takes them through harrowing scenes of captivity, forced labor, and the oppressive lives of enslaved in the masters' plantations. It vividly depicts the cruel reality of children and women being exploited and mistreated. Amidst this hardship, the grandfather's tale reveals a powerful revolution against their masters, leading to self-liberation and the founding of their own village. The animated journey, rich in historical and cultural significance, ends on a note of gratitude and reverence for the ancestors' indomitable spirit and their fight for liberty.
