The six-part docuseries attempts to shed new light on 400 years of human trafficking from Africa. "The series uses a DNA test to identify Jackson’s ancestral tribe and trace his personal journey from the U.S. to Gabon for his induction into the Benga tribe," per Variety. "It was originally slated to debut this summer. Each episode follows three separate story lines: Jackson’s personal story, the quest for a sunken slave ship, and a historical investigation led by investigative journalists Simcha Jacobovici and Afua Hirsch."
