This long-form documentary exploration of THE HISTORY OF THE CARIBBEAN dives into the deep, spiritual connection between the islands' inhabitants and the wildlife that defines their landscape. We trace the lineage of Caribbean folklore from the Taino and Kalinago creation myths—where the Hummingbird was a warrior’s soul and the Manatee a sacred protector—to the survival of West African traditions through the trickster Anansi the Spider.
