The Sugar Wife by Elizabeth Kuti, Directed by Siiri Scott
Set in 1851 in a Quaker community in Dublin, The Sugar Wife revolves around the childless Hannah Tewkley who devotes herself to work with the poor of the city while her husband Samuel tends to a thriving business dealing in tea, coffee, and sugar, goods produced by slave labor. The couple struggles to reconcile the simple ethics of their faith with their dependence on the enslavement of others for their material prosperity. When Hannah insists they invite a former slave and an abolitionist into their home, the collision of culture, class, and sexual and political morality forces the characters to re-evaluate their faith in God and in human nature.
