Garifuna Nation (Carlos de Jesus, 2012)

A feature-length video documentary, Garifuna Nation,presents a cultural encounter between two distinct Afro-Caribbean viewpoints: Afro-Puerto Rican (the filmmaker’s) and that of the Garinagu (also called Garifuna) people. Through these two parallel perspectives, the video looks into how the slave experience has historically played itself out in different ways and how circumstances determine who we are today.
