The Paul Cuffe Story

Based on a true story, this Revolutionary War tale follows Paul Cuffe, a Black/Indigenous mariner, and Michael Wainer, a Wampanoag shoemaker, as they smuggle food past a British blockade to save Nantucket’s starving people. Pursued by Redcoats, they face a choice: sacrifice their rich patron's clock or the food. With a dash of irreverence, Paul guides audiences through this tale of courage, camaraderie, and rebellion, culminating in a small act of defiance that sparks lasting change
