The new National Geographic documentary Clotilda: Last American Slave Ship is scheduled to premiere Monday, June 17 at 8/7c.
During Clotilda: Last American Slave Ship, archaeologists explore the sunken wreck of the slave ship Clotilda.
Previous reports state that the Clotilda, captained by shipbuilder William Foster, sailed into Mobile Bay with 110 African men, women, and children and young adults between the ages of 5 and 23 on board, according to the Encyclopedia of Alabama. The ship illegally transported 110 people from Benin in Africa to Mobile from February to July 1860.
Where can I watch Clotilda: Last American Slave Ship?
Although premiering on National Geographic, those without basic cable can still live stream the premiere of on Monday with Fubo, DirecTV Stream or Sling Blue.
While Sling is the cheaper steaming option, Fubo and DirecTV Stream offer free trials for new subscribers who can watch for free before committing to a paid subscription.
What is Sling?
Sling is also one of the cheaper live streaming services available and currently offers new subscribers $25 off their first month.
Subscribers have three different channel packages to choose from: Sling Blue and Sling Orange that are each $40 a month, and Sling Orange + Blue that is just the first two channel packages combined for $55 a month.
However, to access the National Geographic channel, you’ll need a Sling Blue or Sling Orange + Blue subscription.
What is Fubo?
Fubo is set up like any other streaming service, but rather than offering exclusively on-demand content, it offers a plethora of exclusive live TV channels that Sling does not offer like ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS and more.
Fubo considers itself a sports-focused live streaming service, but overall, its standard package comes with over 100 live TV channels for $79.99 a month after its free trial. These channels include ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS, TLC, MTV and much more.
Fubo also comes with a variety of shows and movies users can watch on-demand along with the option to record your favorite TV shows.
What is DirecTV Stream?
DirecTV Stream is similar to Fubo in that it offers many of the same channels and features. At $84.98 a month after its free trial, the base package comes with a little over 75 live TV channels.
