Synopsis:
Black bodies rocking against splintered wood in the hull of a slave ship. Sharks following at a hungry distance. A trail of blood in the water connects Africa to the Americas. Images of her ancestors haunted independent journalist and filmmaker, Kerra Bolton, until she decided to heed their call at the bottom of the ocean. But there's one thing she had to do first -- learn to swim.
