▶️Today, Ghana is a peaceful country of palm trees and ocean views. But five centuries ago, here on the Gold Coast, the fate of more than a million people who were taken away into slavery forever was decided.

About 50 forts were built on the west coast of the African continent. RT.Doc documentary filmmakers visited the oldest of them, Elmina Castle. You can see the conditions in which enslaved people were kept in our video on the
International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition.

Footage from these places was included in the new film 'Africa. We Need Freedom'.

Don't miss the premiere of the film by Dmitry Khrustalev and Pavel Baydikov on the RT.Doc channel.
