The President's Daughter & the Richest Freeborn Lady plot

Filmmaker Mildred Roethof follows icon Cynthia McLeod on a dizzying journey through our colonial past. McLeod has a quest; attention to Elisabeth Samson, the first freeborn and black female millionaire of Suriname at the peak of transatlantic slavery. Women hardly appeared in historical works, let alone a black woman. McLeod debunks the created falsehoods, myths and stereotypes through in-depth factual research.
