If you loved Soleil O, try West Indies: The Fugitive Slaves of Liberty
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Med Hondo, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Soleil O, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What West Indies: The Fugitive Slaves of Liberty is
Roots without Alex Haley. The history of the West Indies unfolds on a slave ship built inside a Citroen factory. Song and dance become weapons charting the story of oppression, from enslavement to displacement. A singular, stagey, and Brechtian history lesson.
