The film also depicts the renaming of James Island (holding quarters for slaves) to Kuntah Kinteh Island, which honors the legacy of Kuntah Kinteh. Filmed in The Gambia, West Africa, Kunta Kinteh Island features Ben Vereen and The Kinteh Family. Ross takes great pride in creating films that educate, inspire, and encourage people to engage with stories in ways they haven’t before.
