Intern: Traces of the Trade

Traces of the Trade

"Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North" is a documentary film that uncovers the history of New England's role in slavery through the journey of the filmmaker and her family who are descended from slave traders in Rhode Island. The film is being independently produced for national public television broadcast and for dialogue and action on issues of white privilege and the legacy of slavery. A seminarian would have a significant leadership opportunity to develop programmatic/curricular models for use of the film in congregational settings. The intern would work with a faith-based outreach coordinator to organize the dissemination of the film and dialogue-facilitation materials to churches, as well as to build upon our relationships with the UUA and the Episcopal Church and initiate new partnerships with other denominations. Specific tasks would also include outreach/networking/organizing to see how the film might contribute to the anti-racism and slavery atonement efforts of various denominations.
