Come view the Emmy Award-winning three-part NJ PBS documentary, The Price of Silence, at Montclair Public Library! Afterward, there will be a discussion with the filmmaker, Ridgeley Hutchinson, and Linda Caldwell Epps, a founding partner of the Sankofa Collaborative and a historical consultant on the film.

New Jersey, the Garden State, is known for its produce, but not for the enslaved people who tilled the soil. In this three-part documentary series, which was originally created for and broadcast on NJ PBS, descendants and historians tell their stories and why it was the last northern state to end the institution of slavery, and how NJ’s history affected those who came here in the Great Migration. Each episode is 28 minutes long and there will be a 5-minute intermission after the second episode.

The Price of Silence is a Public Media Initiative through The WNET Group.
