An inspiring historical novel based on the true story of the Great Slave Revolt on Curaçao in 1795 – now a major motion picture starring Danny Glover and Jeroen Krabbé.Tula, a slave in Curaçao, is convinced that God made all human beings equal. Stirred by news from abroad -that the French have abolished slavery on neighbouring Haiti and that the New Dutch Republic is now under French rule-, Tula sets out to improve the position of his fellow slaves on Curaçao. But the colonial powers on the island are unable to comprehend his efforts at peaceful resistance. As political and social tensions rise, they ultimately result in a brutal act of aggression. Tula is an unforgettable novel – rich in historical detail and committed to telling a fascinating story about equality, freedom and brotherhood.
