BLACK HANDS - TRIAL OF THE ARSONIST SLAVE investigates slavery in Canada through the story of Marie-Josèphe Angélique, a Black slave accused of burning Montreal in 1734. After an epic trial, this untameable slave is tortured and sentenced to death. But was she really guilty of this crime or was she the victim of a bigger conspiracy? Why this voluntary amnesia about this unknown page of Canadian history?This documentary combines interviews with historians and theatre re-enactments, in addition to commentaries by the actors. <52mn>
