Documentary: Kaiso for July 27 (1990 Attempted Coup in Trinidad & Tobago)

A “musical“ documentary looking at the attempted coup in Trinidad & Tobago in 1990 by a small maverick Islamic group called Jamaat al Muslimeen, led by Yasin Abu Bakr. Incorporating interviews, song, street theatre, archive footage, visual poetry, vox pops and analysis, this impressionistic film tries to makes sense of the six days of madness that engulfed the Caribbean island. Directed by Karen Martinez. Channel 4 UK (1991)
