Free film screening - Sugar Lands

Join us for the captivating documentary Sugar Lands, where renowned Vincentian historian Dr. Adrian Fraser takes us on a journey through the lesser-known history of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, a Caribbean island that fiercely resisted colonisation until the late 18th century.

In this eye-opening film, Dr. Fraser uncovers the remnants of colonial plantations and explores the lasting legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. With vivid storytelling, insightful commentary, and historical analysis, Sugar Lands presents a compelling narrative of resilience, resistance, and the enduring quest for justice.

The film, directed by Akley Olton, lasts 45 minutes and the screening is open to all students.
