Mr. Ross’s documentary “Kunta Kinteh Island: Coming Home Without Shackles” is a true story about the descendants of Kunta Kinteh and the renaming of James Island off the coast of Gambia in West Africa in 2011. For decades, James Island had been a holding ground where captured Africans were interred on their way to slavery in the new world. “In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.” THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS AND SCIENCES IS PROUD TO BE CHOSEN AS A PARTNER TO THE ELVIN ROSS STUDIOS AND THIS PRODUCTION OF THE DOCUMENTARY |
