Even Roots-the-miniseries does it better, false fraud that it is. You can CLEARLY see a bunch of rival tribal Dindus stalk Kunta Kinte in the bush before they gang up on him. He manages to kill like one of them before they manage to bring him to ground and shackle him, before they then march overland to sell him to the ship's crew.

Which is one of the reasons why in spite of being based on a great big bunch of lies, Roots is at least halfway plausible as historical fiction and somewhat entertaining.
