@AFCAUltra I don't want you to be rude, but our royal family said sorry to have ruled them, but not say sorry to them about the slavery which took place there. Anyway why should our Royal Family say sorry about history they didn't were able to change history about it. Don't make them responsible for those crimes.

name a country that hasn't been involved in slave trading? How do you think the Ottomans maintained a firm grip on the "middle of the world", that necessitated the Europeans to go another route? Slave trade. There were slaves in Africa and Asia at the time, and always had been.

Dutch modern day wealth doesn't come from slave trade. It did a long time ago (golden age). But face it after many years several invasions etc, the only things left are a few buildings and some peaces in museums.
The film maker doesn't claim there was a royal dutch family during the golden age, he's talking about the ancestry, and later on the royal family is in charge of the Netherlands when slave trade is still taking place. This documentary is based on facts. And FYI: the film maker is Dutch, not an American.
