Except for the defender Roger Sherman Baldwin, who is not a raunchy and profitable young man, the film is quite outstanding. On the contrary, this father-in-law is the grandson of the founding father Roger Sherman. He has a successful career and has long been an abolitionist. He has defended fugitive slaves. He participated in the Amistad case without selfish interests, but only for justice.
And this group of unclothed Africans was able to wear decent clothes to appear in court later, it was Luis Tapan who paid his own pocket for assistance. Luis was also the organizer of the defense of the Africans in the case, and was a member of the American Anti-Slavery Association . Brother of founder and president Arthur Tappan .
The most close to history and most successful character in this movie must be John Quincy Adams.
There is a bad review in the film review section, because I don't believe that a lawyer who just sells business on the street can defeat the evil forces like an angel, so I think the whole movie is all nonsense. In the final analysis, the problem comes from the movie, because Hollywood has not faithfully restored history as I said before.
