Official synopsis
A liberdade não é dada. É nosso direito ao nascer. Mas há alguns momentos em que deve ser tomada.
Costa de Cuba, 1839. Dezenas de escravos negros se libertam das correntes e assumem o comando do navio negreiro La Amistad. Eles sonham retornar para a África, mas desconhecem navegação e se vêem obrigados a confiar em dois tripulantes sobreviventes, que os enganam e fazem com que, após dois meses, sejam capturados por um navio americano, quando desordenadamente navegaram até a costa de Connecticut.
