People interviewed are from diverse backgrounds, including: celebrity, middle class, those with political goals, those who wish to affect their country in massive ways, and those who simply want to live their lives in the country they love. General reactions to white Jamaicans and white Haitians range from amazement to shock and disbelief, and, even to hostility. These reactions are followed by questions: Who are these people? How did they get here? What is their "story"? How do other Jamaicans and Haitians feel about them? Forgotten Faces addresses these questions. some of these minority ...

Luc Marlin, the acclaimed French Caribbean artist, describes his highly symbolic and richly colored paintings in this 2001 interview given in his studio in Fort-de-France, Martinique. A passionate, astute and articulate observer of both Martinique's history and her contemporary milieu, Marlin emphasizes the power of landscape, the legacies of slavery, the vitality of the oral tradition, the significance of the hearth, the presence of magical thinking and the importance of SERMAC (a center created by Aimé Césaire to promote Martinican culture). Marlin also describes his annual trips to paint in the Canary Islands, explains his view of the cosmos, and mentions his notion of "the phenomenon of Martinique." Twelve of Marlin's exquisite works of decoupage are showcased in the form of page turns when various topics in the interview change. In addition to the paintings and decoupage pieces, the film shows live footage of Martinique, relevant maps and historical photographs.

There are those who self-identify as Taino Indians today and they are making sure that they are counted in the upcoming 2010 census. The Taínos were the original indigenous people of the Caribbean islands that include Puerto Rico,Cuba,Sto Domingo,Haiti,Jamaica and Bahamas. Have long been considered historically extinct in the caribbean zone. Christopher Columbus encountered the Taínos during his maiden voyage to the New World and according to history books the natives were eventually exterminated by the Spaniards through slavery, mass killings and disease. Present day Taínos argue that they were not entirely killed off and that many of them escaped into the mountains and others intermarried with their conquerors and survived. The Neo-Taínos also claim that during the 1500s the Spanish colonizers did not use a fixed standard for counting people and that the enumerators intentionally reported inaccurate numbers of the Taínos decline to the Queen of Spain in order to get her permission to seek slaves from Africa to be able to continue their work. A 1798 census was done by the Spanish and they found more than 2000 inidans in San German, it also mentions another group of about the same numbers in Anasco barrio Miraflores contradicting earlier historical documents that claimed their extermination in the 1500s. In 1898 Puerto Rico was ceded to the United States during the Spanish-American War and the islanders were granted US citizenship in 1917. As the self-identified Taínos ...

From the website www.webchats.tv One of the world's most versatile drinks, rum is also intrinsically linked with the history and culture of its origins in the Caribbean. The earliest references to sugarcane spirit production in the region date back to 1647, and through innovative techniques like oak barrel ageing, rum quickly gained a foothold in global markets and earned its place as a highly sought-after commodity during the golden age of piracy in the years 1690-1720. Throughout the islands of the region - from Belize right across the Caribbean Sea to Barbados - there is a grand tradition of rum production, with traditional family-owned brands practising a variety of methods of fermentation, distillation, casking and blending just as intricate and distinct as the Scotch whisky industry. In recognition of this a new three-tiered Authentic Caribbean Rum marque has been established as an assured sign of quality and provenance and as a proud symbol of a heritage stretching back four centuries. Varieties such as St Lucia's Chairman's Reserve, with its rich aromas of chocolate, raisin, spice and vanilla, or El Dorado 15 Year Old, made in Guyana using a unique wooden Coffey still, are ideal for sipping 'straight-up' or over ice, mixing in cocktails, or with your favourite mixer. In 2007 the Beverage Tasting Institute of Chicago awarded the latter the accolade 'Best Rum in the World', achieving the highest score for any rum ever - 98 points. Helping us to explore the world of ...

Most people think of the Caribbean as a luxury vacation destination for the rich and famous. But as Justine discovers, the Caribbean has a unique history and fascinating culture that will captivate the independent traveler. She begins her journey in culturally diverse Trinidad, just 6 miles off the coast of South America. In the month of March the streets of the capital, Port of Spain, come alive with revelers at one of the largest street parties on earth. The carnival was introduced by French Catholic plantation owners who used to hold masquerade balls to celebrate the last 2 days before lent. When slavery was abolished, the masqueraders took to the streets and today more than 250000 people take part in the festivities. Justine finds herself a costume and takes the opportunity to learn the Caribbean arts of chipping and wining. With the party over on the stroke of midnight, Justine flies north to Trinidad's sister island, Tobago. Famous for its unspoiled beaches and crystal clear waters, Tobago was a wealthy British colony until 1962, thriving on the coconut, sugar and cocoa plantations. Justine visits Richmond Great House, a former plantation turned guesthouse, and witnesses a local gambling institution, the Buccoo goat race. From Tobago, Justine journeys north to the spice island of Grenada. Here, she pays a visit to the thriving St. George market ...

This first sting for The Amerindians series was developed by Justin Benn. There have been many changes to the script since and the tone of this sting doesn't quite match the tone of the series. It is true that the story of indigenous people in Trinidad and Tobago is similar to the stories of indigenous people all over the world. But even as we are "recognised" by the state, we are largely invisible. By and large people don't really believe we exist. Often I am told I look and act too "urban" to be of "indigenous stock" and I am mixed anyway so "why is it such a big deal?" I think people are more comfortable with the idea of the indigenous or aboriginal as being half naked, living in the forest and speaking broken english. If they are presented with something else it affects the image of the "native" that they have constructed. People seem to buy into the idea that history and culture is static. Pre-Columbian Caribbean history remains a largely under-researched area.
