Trinidad and Tobago Hill Rice in Guayaguayare

On the day we filmed at Dove's Dirt Oven Delights long before the video went viral and reached over 1 million people online, Sanjid (Dove's son in law) introduced us to Mr. Pope the man responsible for passing down the knowledge of building and using a dirt oven. We got to hear of some of the things he liked doing.
One of those things amongst taking care of pets and bending steel for construction was growing and harvesting rice. We were asked by the family to document their father talking about the process of making hill rice for future generations to see.
We felt honored and returned the week after to film this video. Alfred Pope is 76 years of age and is full of energy and we thoroughly enjoyed capturing him and learning about his various experiences.

I appreciated seeing this vid...the things we see packaged sometimes we dont recognize how much work goes into production for the price

Is this the same rice that was assumed to be extinct until recently?
