Movie Summary:
[Drama]
Freedom is not given. It is our right at birth. But there are moments when it must be taken. This is director Steven Spielberg's powerful telling of the 1839 revolt aboard the Spanish slave ship La Amistad, when 53 Africans held captive broke free of their shackles and took control of the ship. Unable to navigate back to Africa, the men are captured and their case brought before the Supreme Court in a historic fight for the basic right of all mankind--freedom.
