Show Notes

This three chapter documentary series examines how ocean currents and trade winds quietly directed the course of Caribbean history. Long before modern maps or engines, wind and water decided where people could go, who arrived first, and which islands became crossroads of culture and power. The story traces how natural forces shaped navigation, settlement, forced migration, trade routes, and lasting cultural patterns. It presents the Caribbean not as a passive backdrop, but as a region formed under constant pressure from the sea itself.
