INTO THE DEPTHS

documents some of the thousand slave ships that wrecked in the Atlantic Ocean
during the transatlantic slave trade and follows a group of Black divers who are
dedicated to finding and helping document the wrecks. A new six-part podcast
series, Into the Depths, and National Geographic Magazine explore the complex
history of the global slave trade and the stories of the estimated 12.5-million
Africans forced to make the Middle Passage.
