On Tuesday March 20, 7PM, Scribe as part of its Producers' Forum series will screen the film Garifuna with director Carlos de Jesus in person. (Presented in partnership with Taller Puertorriqueño.
A feature-length video documentary, Garifuna Nation, presents a cultural encounter between two distinct Afro-Caribbean experiences: Afro-Puerto Rican and Garinagu (also called Garifuna). 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. Having escaped the ravages of slavery in the Americas, a group of West Africans joined with Carib Indians to form the Garifuna culture that has survived for over 212 years -- on self-reliance, sacred spirit-possession practices and dance moves. (USA/Belize/Honduras 2012, 82 min) $10, $8 students/seniors, $5 Scribe members and Taller Puertorriqueño affiliates
