"Tells the story of Reverend William Andrew White, the son of former American slaves, who brought solace and pride to the black community of Nova Scotia. William Andrew White was the second black man accepted by Acadia University. He graduated in 1903 with an arts degree in theology. He then traveled as a missionary for the African Baptist Churches of Nova Scotia. When WW1 erupted, Reverend White enlisted in an all Black segregated unit, and was the only black officer and chaplain for the entire British Army. The leader of the Cornwallis St. Baptist Church for 17 years, he was the first black man to bring his sermons to radio. A mix of interviews, archives and haunting gospel music, "Captain of Souls" is a tender eulogy for a man who brought hope to a forgotten community."--Container.
