As the American Revolution looms, a guarded enslaved woman on a Northern plantation quietly collects songs, stories, and secrets—until the silence around her becomes too loud to bear, and she must choose between self-preservation or speaking out to preserve the truth.

SYNOPSIS:

Set in 1775 on the Royall Plantation in Medford, Massachusetts, Echoes of Medford follows Amina, a young enslaved woman whose quiet observations slowly awaken into purposeful resistance. As the American Revolution brews beyond the plantation walls, Amina begins to gather stories, songs, and symbols of defiance—fragments passed down by Belinda, a woman who survived the Middle Passage, and Harriet, a free Black woman risking everything to deliver truths in print.

Through whispered names, sacred tokens, and quiet acts of care, Amina learns that memory can be both weapon and salvation. But when a moment of reckoning forces her to choose between silence and action, Amina steps into her power—not with a cry, but with a choice to preserve the past by passing it on.

Inspired by real historical figures including Belinda Sutton and grounded in archival truth, Echoes of Medford is a lyrical, character-driven portrait of resistance in colonial New England. It is a story of legacy, survival, and the unrecorded voices who shaped America’s fight for freedom—long before the nation claimed it.
