Description
Annalee Davis | Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago & Guyana | 30 mins | 2007 | English | PG |
The film debunks the myth of a unified, laid back Caribbean culture by exposing how Caribbean people treat themselves as other. By questioning the notion of a merged Caribbean, the film asks difficult questions: Have regional institutions failed to advance integration. Will political leaders sacrifice sovereign power for a shared power under increasing regional governance? Is the CSME interested in the lives and dreams of poor, unskilled Caribbean nationals? Includes interviews with: Mas man Peter Minshall; poet Kamau Brathwaite; playwright/performer Michael Gilkes; and, musician Wendell Manwarren, among others.
