Carib Roots

The trailer for “Prodigal Son,” a film by Kurt Orderson, a South African director, who sets out to retrace his great-grandfather’s journey from Barbados (he was a merchant sailor ) to Cape Town at the beginning of the 20th century and in that way pointing to the mashed-up identities of the country’s coloured population.

I saw the film earlier this year and hopes it gets more exposure (it got into the 2009 edition of the New York African Film Festival).

Here is a review of the film.
