Emancipation movie recap | In the time of slavery, one person stood against injustice and escaped because of his insistence
Over 150 years from today, back in 1863 at Lousiana, a black slave, Gordon, had dreamt of the freedom of black people. Freedom means living their life to the fullest, just like their "White" masters: who considered themselves the god of 'these Animals'. 'Emancipation' is a tale of a black slave who fought his whole life to live with honor, dignity, and of course, a "Normal life" This is the tale of a person who risked his life to join the Lincoln Army, fighting to free his fellow brothers-sisters-sons-daughters. This image of Gordon was taken in 1863 after he managed to be free from his slave master. This is the most accurate depiction of slavery I've seen.

Short filmTranscript
00:00It is the year 1863.
00:02Peter works as a slave on a cotton plantation with his wife Dodian and their children.
00:08When he learns that he has been sold to a new master, he decides to spend one last moment
00:12with his family until the white men come to drag him out, ignoring their tyranny.
00:17But the oppressors do not hesitate to point their weapons at his wife, forcing Peter to
00:22stop immediately and accept to ride in the wagon himself.
00:26Unfortunately, the whites become vengeful and beat him before dragging him again.
00:31Peter and a group of other slaves are transported in a cage as if they were cattle.
00:37Behind bars, Peter promises his children that he will return for them one day, while they
00:42try to run after him in tears.
00:44After a long distance on the road, they arrive at their new work site, which coincides with
00:49the construction of a modern railway.
00:52Conditions here are worse than they were on the plantations.
00:55The heads of slaves who dared to disobey are hung at the entrance as a warning.
00:59The slaves sleep in cages, and even while they work hard, the white masters do not hesitate
01:05to beat and insult them.
01:07Many stray dogs are also sent after anyone who tries to escape.
01:11When slaves misbehave, they are usually whipped.
01:15Only but sometimes they are shot in front of everyone, and other times President Vassil
01:19puts a mark directly on their face.
01:22At Fazil's two men serve him who were also bought as slaves, but were chosen to be part
01:27of the guards because of their hunting skills.
01:29Peter tries hard to behave, but even when he tries to help his friend Jordan, who fell
01:34he is shouted at.
01:36One day after all the slaves are returned to their cage, they are forced to watch as
01:40John is thrown inside while writhing in pain because of his marked cheek.
01:45A slave named Thomas trembles with fear and Peter tries to comfort him asking him to remember
01:50his loved ones and not lose his faith in God who is always watching over them.
01:55John mocks his words, but Peter ignores his mockery and promises to pray for him.
02:01Later Peter hears the two white guards talking about some very important news.
02:06President Lincoln has freed the slaves and now everyone who managed to escape is running
02:10to Baton Rouge to ask for help.
02:12The conversation is suddenly interrupted when one of the guards notices that Thomas has
02:16made a mistake in the food and intends to punishing him, but Peter intervenes to defend
02:21him explaining that he is just a child who was beaten by the guard and pulls out his
02:26gun to point it at Peter and is about to kill him because of this impudence.
02:30But Fazil stops him because he is particularly interested in Peter because of his.
02:35Attitude later when Peter returns to the cage Fazil approaches him to tell him that he is
02:40his master and Peter is his dog now Peter responds by saying then you have to eat the
02:44same meat that dogs eat then Fazil laughs, but the next day he chains Pete and makes
02:49him kneel in front of him while his.
02:51Dog barks in his face Peter is only centimeters away and now the dog has memorized Peter's
02:57scent in his memory later at lunch Peter tells the other slaves about Lincoln Rouge which
03:01they can reach after five days of walking in the swamp.
03:04Some of the slaves hesitate because surviving in the swamps is not easy, but when Peter
03:09reminds them that they may not survive here either some of them agree with him and now
03:13they just need to wait for the right time to escape later a slave dies in the middle
03:18of.
03:19Work so the guards make Peter drag him to the pit where they throw the bodies there
03:22some of the white fugitives are also the ones who were ordered to dig, but as soon as they
03:27see Peter they say that the black man should do it instead and Peter ends up holding the
03:31shovel to fill the hole.
03:33Peter realizes that this is the perfect opportunity to start the plan so he waits patiently for
03:39the guards to be distracted by a nose in the field so he jumps on them and kills them with
03:43the shovel and steals a knife and runs away.
03:46The other worshippers and fugitives see this and seize the opportunity to start running
03:51as well and they beat up some guards allowing John to steal a gun.
03:55The other guards sound the alarm and immediately start shooting at the fugitives killing many
03:59of them before they get lost in the woods.
04:02They shoot the fugitives but he hates the fact that Peter got away with it and orders
04:06Harrington and knows to chase him with the dogs.
04:09Peter manages to cooperate with three of his friends and guides them through the woods
04:14while watching for any approaching danger.
04:17They eventually reach the swamps and most of them manage to cross safely but Thomas
04:21freezes in place when he sees the crocodiles allowing the dogs to catch up with him.
04:26If the monsters do enough damage, he calls them back and asks them to tell him where
04:30the group is going but Thomas refuses to answer.
04:34In a break, they make a deal.
04:36If Thomas tells him where the others are going, he will be allowed to leave.
04:40Horrified, Thomas admits what he knows and actually lets him go to the swamp but as soon
04:45as he turns around, Axe shoots him and lets the crocodiles eat him.
04:50Meanwhile, he has safely crossed the swamp.
04:53Peter thinks they should go to the other swamps but John refuses to take orders from anyone.
04:59He decides to go his own way.
05:01He feels he can stay safe thanks to the gun he stole.
05:04Gordon wants to follow Peter wherever he goes but Peter thinks it would be difficult
05:09to track them if they split up.
05:11So Gordon makes his own way through the forest after reminding him in his upbringing of following
05:16the sound of Lincoln's guns.
05:18Peter sets off on his way and discovers that his leg is bleeding because he was shot earlier.
05:23He has to do something about this or the dogs will smell blood but first he has to get away
05:28to keep between himself and Vasil.
05:31Moments later, Peter finds a house owned by a white family who also own slaves.
05:36First, Peter grabs a log from a tree and ties his injured leg to it then sneaks in by staying
05:43hidden behind a pile of bushes which allows him to reach some water from the pump.
05:48He notices clothes hanging on a rope.
05:50Peter risks and crosses the garden to steal a shirt then runs towards the forest but one
05:55of the family's children spots him and alerts everyone by ringing the bell.
06:00Vasil hears the sound and pushes him into the house where the family tells him the direction
06:05from which Peter set out.
06:07Peter runs with all his might and stops to bandage his wound with the shirt he stole.
06:12Then he takes off the blood-stained shirt and hides it under a log where the dogs find
06:17it while Peter hides under the swamp water.
06:20Vasil and his men fall for the trick and head in another direction, believing that Peter
06:25has crossed the swamp but he actually comes out after the pursuers leave.
06:30Suddenly, a crocodile attacks him so he quickly pushes it away with a large log then kills
06:36it with a knife.
06:37At that moment, Dudian wakes up from a nightmare in which she saw her husband in danger.
06:43The children also wake up worried about their father but Dudian reassures them that he is
06:47alive and he will come soon because he has survived things that no other man can survive.
06:53When night falls, Peter hides in a tree and uses his knife to remove the swamp hangers
06:58from his body, causing some blood to drip onto the surrounding plants.
07:03Meanwhile, Vasil and his men find the dead crocodile and open it to find it empty, meaning
07:09that Peter escaped from here.
07:11The pursuers decide to spend the night and eat the crocodile, prompting Haran to praise
07:16Peter's skills.
07:18Vasil immediately rebukes him for this and tells him about the lesson his father taught
07:22him, saying that if you give the blacks a little, they will ask for more and will take
07:27their jobs and lands.
07:29The next morning, Peter continues walking, making sure to cover himself with all the
07:34animals to absorb his scent.
07:36While crossing another swamp, he thinks about his family and prays to his gods.
07:41When the sun suddenly rises on him, he takes it as a sign while Vasil divides his group
07:47to cover more places.
07:48Peter finds an abandoned treehouse with clean water and some leftover food.
07:53There is also hot coal, so Peter uses it to heat his knife and cauterize his leg wound.
07:59He then places the coal in the empty bucket.
08:02He carries it with him while climbing a tree to throw smoke on the beehive to keep the
08:06bees away and then take some honey.
08:08Vasil sees the smoke and runs towards it, but Peter has already set off on his way.
08:14The treehouse also has a boat in which the snake is hiding so Peter carefully pushes
08:18it away then gets on the boat and sails away while enjoying the honey.
08:23Meanwhile, the master approaches Dudian and tells her that he has sold her and that she
08:27will leave in two days and that her children will not be allowed to go with her because
08:31her master will give her a new husband.
08:34Dudian is very sad about this news because she wants to stay here until her husband returns
08:39so she plans to avoid being sold.
08:41So she goes to one of the machines used in cotton production and puts her hand inside
08:45pretending that she was hurt by returning to Vasil.
08:48He finds the treehouse with his dog's tail and is able to follow Peter's direction
08:53towards the river.
08:54Peter continues on his way to the forest and is surprised to meet John again who is angry
08:59because now the white men will come to him as well.
09:02Peter swears to him that no one is following him and tells John how to hide his scent but
09:07Johnny ignores him then they start running again after just a moment later.
09:11The dogs hear the barking and they rush to hide.
09:14Peter enters an empty trunk while Wings climbs the tree but the dogs manage to track John's
09:19scent and thus Vasalwa and his men manage to find him easily.
09:24John refuses to come down so Vasil forces him to fall with his bullets then violently
09:29interrogates him about Peter but John refuses to take his head and give it to Harrington
09:34and Norris to take it to the camp as a message.
09:37Peter closes his eyes to avoid the scene of his friend's violent death.
09:42After Vasil leaves, Peter comes out of hiding while it rains to discover exactly how they
09:47killed John which shocked him greatly.
09:50He forces himself to continue despite his great sadness then suddenly he sees a group
09:55of horses running near him, one of which is burning.
09:59Peter follows the direction they came from and finds a house on a farm but everything
10:03is on fire and all the whites are dead.
10:06It seems that the slaves here have received news of Wrinkle's liberation of the slaves
10:11and have acted on their own.
10:13Peter prepares to cut with his knife as he enters the house and slowly walks through
10:17the rooms until he finds the dining table.
10:20So he immediately gets rid of his caution and jumps on the food to feed his tired body.
10:25He doesn't stop until he hears a strange noise coming from the upper deck then follows
10:29it until he finds a young girl dying under a guitar playing as a call.
10:34Peter immediately rescues her and takes her outside where he puts her on a table before
10:38trying to get some water but the girl is scared and makes him stay with her while
10:43she gives him the cross necklace.
10:45Peter understood what she meant and took it from her and he became distracted to the point
10:49that he did not hear Herring approaching behind him until it was too late.
10:54Peter is forced to drop his knife and move away from the girl and the poor thing dies
10:59as soon as Peter leaves her.
11:01Peter becomes very angry so he turns violently and kills Herring using the cross on the necklace.
11:07At that moment, he also arrives but Peter thinks quickly and grabs Herring's weapon
11:12and shoots him.
11:14Noor tries to explain to Peter that someone who was able to kill a crocodile might accept
11:18a loser in his ranks but Peter calls him the worst and leaves him to die upon hearing him
11:23approaching because of the barking sound.
11:26Peter decides to run into the cotton fields to hide and when the dog approaches him, he
11:31shoots him.
11:32In the end, he comes across the corpse's butcher and he insists more on it.
11:38The next morning, Peter arrives at a beach full of the corpses of white men who were
11:42killed.
11:43They die during the confrontations against Lincoln's army.
11:47Unfortunately, he did not find any supplies to take.
11:50However, Peter can see ships in the distance and hear the cannons indicating that Lincoln's
11:55soldiers are close.
11:57He is excited at the idea of finally reaching freedom so he starts running again but suddenly
12:03Fassel appears on his horse and throws him to the ground.
12:06He offers him some meat and orders him to beg for him.
12:10Because Peter will not submit, he pulls out his gun and reminds Peter that he is his master.
12:16When he is about to pull the trigger, one of them shoots him first.
12:20Peter tells Fassel as he falls that he is not the master of anyone.
12:24Then he resorts to meeting his rescuers, who are Lincoln's soldiers led by Lt. Q.
12:30After that, the soldiers take him to the infirmary tent in their camp in Baton Rouge.
12:35Because his leg wound is infected, the nurse makes Peter rest.
12:39For a few days, he dreams of his family.
12:42If he feels better, Peter talks to one of the soldiers to get his new papers as a free
12:47man.
12:48Although he has to make up some information that he does not know, such as his age and
12:52a question of luck that will not allow him to leave.
12:55Searching for his family, the white soldiers exploit the fact that the slaves are contraband
12:59and are given two options, work on federal farms or join the army.
13:04Peter refuses to continue following orders.
13:07But when the soldier points out that joining the army could help him save his family and
13:12be free forever, Peter agrees.
13:14Peter then discovers that the army has also found Jordan, who is in pain but alive.
13:20Peter is happy to see him and sadly tells him about what happened to John.
13:24He then goes to see you for his uniform, but Q first asks him if he would be interested
13:29in helping the cause by taking something called a photograph.
13:33Peter is warned, but Q promises him that the white photographers are harmless.
13:38Well, it turns out that these people are taking pictures of the reality of slavery to tell
13:43the world.
13:44Peter agrees to show his bear back to the camera, revealing hundreds of scars from the
13:49shipping.
13:50Peter is then taken to see the general, who asks him for all the information he knows
13:54about the railroad that the enemy has built.
13:57After Peter tells them everything he knows, the general stares at him, his picture and
14:02indicates that those scars equal times of disobedience, which is not a good trait in
14:07a soldier.
14:08Q tries to take Peter away, but Peter defends himself, explaining that those scars mean
14:14that he has been beaten many times.
14:17But he did not stop fighting, which is also important for a soldier.
14:21At dawn, Q takes Peter and all his soldiers to the trenches and reminds them in a sincere
14:27speech that they are fighting for freedom.
14:29Many soldiers fall to enemy fire as they continue to march, continuing to fight without hesitation.
14:36Soon, fires break out everywhere and Peter is hit by an explosion that leaves him unconscious
14:42for a minute.
14:43As soon as he wakes up, he drags his aching body through the mud and continues to shoot
14:47the enemy whenever he gets the chance.
14:50Q falls in battle and eventually finds Peter Jordan, who is wounded.
14:55Seeing his friend in pain and fear inspires him to come out of hiding and run towards
15:00the enemy lines with the intention of stopping the guns.
15:03Thanks to all the soldiers who witnessed his bravery and followed him, the National Guard
15:08overcomes their enemies and achieves victory.
15:11After the war ends, the army visits every farm to liberate when the slaves arrive at
15:16the house where Peter was working.
15:18Everyone is shocked because they did not believe the news.
15:21But soon happiness takes over them after they finally understand that freedom is a reality.
15:26After witnessing the death of his former master at the hands of justice, Peter searches for
15:31his family and almost collapses when he does not find them.
15:35So he begins to pray and indeed finds his wife and children finally running to him to
15:40meet him and embrace him.
15:42Peter's picture became an immortal part of history and reached all parts of the world.
15:48In 1863, thanks to the Lincoln Declaration, more than 400,000 slaves escaped to freedom.
15:54By 1865, nearly 4 million slaves in America were recognized as free.
16:00In conclusion, we say, when did you enslave people when their mothers gave birth to them
16:05free?
