Thomas Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie Dumas was born a Caribbean slave in 1762 and beat the odds by rising through the ranks to become a revolutionary French general. The son of a nobleman, Marquis Alexandre Antoine Davy de la Pailleterie, and an African slave, Marie-Cessette Dumas, he became the first and highest-ranking Black leader in the French military and served under Napoleon Bonaparte. But despite his many exploits, which earned him the nickname of “Black Devil,” his role in the French Revolution was underplayed and he was even denied a full pension and legion of honor by Bonaparte.
Dumas: Black Devil tells the true story of Thomas Alexandre Dumas, an 18th-century military hero who rose from slavery to become the highest-ranking Black general in French history. Born in the Caribbean in 1762, Dumas fought in the French Revolution and served under Napoleon Bonaparte, earning the feared nickname "Black Devil" on the battlefield. The historical drama arrives October 13, 2027.
