West Indies (1979)
Film Synopsis
On an island in the Caribbean, the history of the Caribbean people is presented through song and dance. It is a story of a struggle for freedom from the tyranny and greed of the white westerners. From the dark days when millions of Africans were captured by slave traders and shipped to the New World, to the present day, when black and white people are able to live side-by-side and black culture is cherished by the west...© James Travers
