A clip from “West Indies” (West Indies ou les nègres marrons de la Liberté) by Med Hondo, starring Robert Liensol, Hélène Vincent, Toto Bissainthe, Cyril Aventurin and Gabriel Glissant.
About the film: This stirring 1979 musical encompasses 400 years of French occupation of the West Indies: a theatre stage becomes a slave ship where Africa, Europe and the Caribbean interlock. Med Hondo’s classic now returns to the big screen in a new restoration.
Part of the Forum Special programme 2022.
