This short film investigates the childhood of Olaudah Equiano in Benin before he was kidnapped in 1755 and sold into the British slave trade system. Rather than looking at the Transatlantic Slave Trade from the perspective of an Evangelical abolitionist, it follows the life of one of the most famous victims of the trade: Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa. Excerpts of his autobiography are used to interpret his childhood, whereas thought provoking music and images are used to suggest the emotional journey that Equiano (and all African-Carribbean people) would have gone through.

How to Watch Equiano in Africa Legally and Safely

If you want to stream Equiano in Africa through reputable and legal services, there are a few good options depending on where you are. Subscription platforms like HBO Max, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+ sometimes carry Equiano in Africa films or related DC titles—though availability depends on your country.

If you’d rather not commit to a subscription, there are ad‑supported, free (but legal) platforms such as Tubi, Pluto TV, Peacock or Crackle (where available in your region) that occasionally host superhero films.

Lastly, don’t forget about library‑linked streaming options like Kanopy or Hoopla (if your library or university is registered), and official uploads by film distributors on YouTube—these can also give you legal access to classic movies.
