The Black Creoles: Memories and Identities (2011)

Directed by Martha Clarissa Hernandez, Maria Jose Alvarez

Documentary · 1h 24m

This feature documentary gives voice to the Creole people from Nicaragua and Costa Rica who have lived in resistance to colonialism, and now struggle to maintain their identity. Through multiple testimonies, we learn about how Black people came to the Caribbean and how Creole culture was formed in the region. These are stories of everyday life that reflect the cultural distinctions and traditions of different communities, their worldviews, memories, dreams, identities and the challenges they faced – yesterday and today.
