If you loved Blanche, try West Indies: The Fugitive Slaves of Liberty

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Blanche, 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.
