About this listen

Two boys meet on a voyage that transforms their lives.

Madu, a young African, is captured by the English slave-trader Sir John Hawkins. Tom Oakley is a young sailor in charge of the slaves. At first, the two boys hate each other. But as the story develops, their roles are reversed, and they become closer friends than either would have once believed possible.

This is a fast-moving drama based around real historical events - history as you never learned in school!
