A Mother's Ledger of Blood: The Untold Story of Ruth's Revenge

Описание: This is the true story of Ruth—an enslaved woman whose children were sold on Christmas Eve, 1847. What her masters didn't know was that she had been listening. And writing. For the next six years, every man involved in destroying her family would meet a mysterious, untraceable end

In 1847, on the Harrove plantation in Louisiana, a mother's world was shattered to pay a gambling debt. But Ruth was no ordinary victim. From the shadows, she began a silent campaign of retribution that would stretch from the cotton fields of Mississippi to the bustling port of New Orleans. Using only her wits, patience, and the invisibility forced upon her, she executed a plan so perfect, local authorities never suspected a thing.

This documentary explores one of history's most chilling and calculated tales of vengeance. Was it justice? Was it murder? Or was it the only form of power available to a woman who had everything taken from her?
