Akiya Henry: Historical reality

Actor Akiya Henry says that watching Coram Boycan remove you from your reality and make you think about what it was like for people in the 18th century. Children were abandoned by their mothers, lower classes were exploited and some people like Thomas Coram actually cared and tried to help out.
