West Indies
1979 · Movie · 110 min. · France
A musical that takes place entirely on a single set –a giant slave ship that symbolizes the triangular relationship between Africa, Europe and the Caribbean– as it explores the parallels between the forced migration of the Atlantic slave trade and the contemporary migration of Afro-Caribbean subjects to former colonial metropoles.
