The film "Traces of the Trade" recounts the journey of some descendants of James DeWolf to understand the legacy of their family's involvement in the slave trade.
The film follows ten family members as they retrace the triangle trade starting at Linden Place in Bristol, Rhode Island, the hometown of the DeWolfs. The film goes with the family to Ghana, where the slaves were purchased and where they meet with current residents, and to Cuba, where James DeWolf owned three sugar and coffee plantations in the 19th century.
