Product Description
There is a sense of urgency in this film as it follows world changing events in four continents culminating in the brutal sugar cane plantations of the Caribbean. Through out the British Empire it was thought that slavery was abolished in 1833, but the British plantation owners wouldn't have it. It reveals the trials and tribulations of both the resilent African slaves and the unsuspecting Indians from Calcutta who were sold on the golden dreams of "El Dorado" only to find themselves on a slave ship to hard labor in an unforgiving land. Each faced perils at the hands of British plantation owners who positioned these two exploited people against each other. The character of Laxman defies centuries of colonial exploitation and forces the hand of the British Empire to ultimately enforce the abolition of slavery once and for all.

A Compelling Story May 13, 2008
Matthew T. Uhry
This film is a compelling story about the birth pains of a country that few people know much about. It features lush visuals and fine acting.

Excellent movie. Shows the history of Indian laborers from India working in the cane fields in British Guiana under the British, and also the blacks who the British brought from Africa to work in the fields under harsh conditions. At the end, they were both free from the British where a bond between the blacks and Indians can be seen after the some of the Indians returned to India.
