Drapetomania

Synopsis

Drapetomania is a anthology thriller where every episode explores the trapped conversations of the psychological, spiritual, and social realities that Black adults face when navigating freedom, identity, and survival in their twenties. Basically, “Is this really happening to me?””The title “DRAPETOMANIA” intentionally reclaims the historical term once used as a false diagnosis assigned to enslaved Black people who sought freedom. A weapon used to categorize us as insane or crazy for seeking freedom. The use of the title is rooted in irony and reclamation, reflecting themes of liberation, identity, self-definition, and generational change.
