Free and The Dead

"The Free and the Dead" reveals the true story of America's catastrophic 1835 attack on the Seminoles in Florida, highlighting the efforts of two Men—one Black American and one Indigenous warrior—who fought to defend their homes and freedom. Set against the backdrop of the Seminole Wars, the narrative explores the resilience of communities that had long coexisted beyond U.S. reach, and the alliances formed across racial lines to resist forced removal and slavery. This compelling account offers a vivid look at an overlooked revolt and the enduring bonds between Afro-descendant and Indigenous peoples.
