The Book of Negroes (mini-series) - BET's First Mini-Series is Coming to DVD this Spring

New York, NY/Toronto, Canada - Following in the powerful tradition of Roots, THE BOOK OF NEGROES recounts the harrowing journey of Aminata Diallo (Aunjanue Ellis, The Help, Ray) and her return home after being forced into slavery as a child. A universal story of loss, courage and triumph, the acclaimed mini-series event, which just had its U.S. broadcast premiere on BET this February, will be available as a special edition 3-disc DVD release on April 7, 2015, exclusively from Entertainment One.

An epic dramatic adaptation of the critically acclaimed, Oprah Winfrey listed novel by Lawrence Hill, THE BOOK OF NEGROES depicts the extraordinary life of Aminata Diallo - an indomitable African woman who survives against all odds in a world that forever underestimates her. Kidnapped by slave traders in West Africa and subsequently enslaved in South Carolina, Aminata must navigate her way through the American Revolution in New York, the isolated refuge of Nova Scotia and the treacherous jungles of Sierra Leone, before ultimately securing her freedom in England at the dawn of the 19th century.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Clement Virgo (The Wire, Poor Boy's Game) and co-written by Hill and Virgo, THE BOOK OF NEGROES also stars Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jerry Maguire, A Few Good Men), Academy Award, Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy winner Louis Gossett Jr. (An Officer and a Gentleman, Roots, Boardwalk Empire), and Lyriq Bent (Rookie Blue), as well as Oscar nominee Jane Alexander (The Cider House Rules), Ben Chaplin (The Thin Red Line) and Allan Hawco (Republic of Doyle).
An official Canada-South Africa treaty co-production, THE BOOK OF NEGROES was produced by Conquering Lion Pictures, Out of Africa Entertainment, Entertainment One and Idlewild Films. Executive producers include Damon D'Oliveira (What We Have, Lie with Me) and Clement Virgo for Conquering Lion Pictures; Lance Samuels (Inescapable, Bang Bang Club) from Out of Africa Entertainment; Bill Niven (Heartbeat) of Idlewild Films; and eOne's Carrie Stein (Coco Chanel, Burn Up, Diamonds) and Margaret O'Brien (Bitten, Rookie Blue). Other executive producers include Daniel Iron (Cairo Time, Away From Her) and Michael Levine (The Republic of Doyle).
