The history of slavery did not begin in the cotton fields. Long before the transatlantic slave trade, Africa stood at the center of vast networks of human trafficking that connected the Sahara, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and beyond.
Episode 1: Beyond the Desert explores the origins and expansion of the trans-Saharan slave trade, from the fall of Rome in 476 AD to the rise of powerful African and Islamic empires. As Arab rule expanded from the banks of the Indus to the southern edge of the Sahara, new routes of conquest, commerce, and enslavement reshaped entire societies.
At the heart of this world stood two major trading centers: Cairo, the great commercial hub between Africa and the Middle East, and Timbuktu, a strategic gateway for the trans-Saharan caravans and the empires of West Africa.
Through archives, historical analysis, and powerful storytelling, this first episode of Slavery Routes reveals how millions of sub-Saharan Africans were captured, sold, displaced, and turned into the “human raw material” of one of the longest systems of enslavement in history.
