A feature film on the core breeding and training ground in the Bahamas from which most of our current State and Civic leaders came, along with many others from their generations.
Wonderful...thank you so much. I'm descendant...living in Florida..Flowers-Sweeting-Hard-Barry-Albury Sawyer..and related to all on Harbour Island and Eleuthera and some Spanish Wells. Key West to Tampa, Florida my grandparents from my😊 ancestors ...❤🇧🇸
Lady Tonya, I'm glad to have produced a piece that helps you and others reconnect with your roots. We all are one regardless of where we've settled 😉 For the record, it was an outright pleasure producing this and other feature works alongside the likes of Patrice Francis and Rosemary Hanna. Two absolute gems 😊
Very good. We encourage you to press on, beloved...knowledge is power, and knowledge in action is even more powerful. We must do what we can, within reason, to free our minds more and more in the effort to help bring about much needed change and reformation in, and around our environments, and nation. The future of The Bahamas depends heavily on the will of its people. With the people is where much power resides, but sadly, like with the church (when I say this, again, I mean the people), the vast majority are slumbering.
Kendrick, thank you for taking the time to watch and absorb this piece. We all had a great time producing it, and trust me, countless individuals feel the same way as you do....but sadly, this isn't the kind of content that most serving Bahamian politicians want to herald...it's too neutral for their "focused" agendas, and furthermore, we weren't dependent on "the people's money" to help produce it...thus we had full creative license over how it all turned out. Objectivity was the aim. I'm almost certain you know where I'm coming from when I say all of this...but be encouraged in any event, my brother. The truth can NEVER be hidden/suppressed indefinitely.
As a white Bahamian born there in 1963 I believe it's true that most black Bahamians were never slaves, they were landed there by the British Navy after being rescued from slave ships. Did any slave-based industry have time to get going between 1720 when the pirates were expelled and 1830 when slavery was abolished? I doubt it. In 1720 the regular population of Nassau was so small it was outnumbered by the pirates. There's a lot of slander here against the white population of pre-independence Bahamas, we created a very safe and civilised country and the simple fact that we were outbred and usurped by black majority rule doesn't justify Pindling's self-characterisation as a freedom-fighter who rescued the black majority from oppression.
I'm a bit disappointed with this video. The Francis' of Glinton Square( Grants Town Hotel) who made significant contribution to Grants Town not mentioned in the documentary. Also the Sargent's of Glinton Square. Your history is incomplete!
Hi Lorraine, I'm sorry...we know the history pertaining to this piece is rich, and vast, and widespread, but every family, unfortunately, couldn't make the cut. That's really where the written word comes in though, and shines...perhaps Rosie mentioned them in her book?

My favorite documentary
We had a wonderful time producing it, Barb. A piece of Bahamian history in digital form for the whole world to behold. Glad you like it 🙂
Grateful to have found this! Exploring my Bahamian heritage and this helps me continue that journey. ✊🏽
Thank you.

Thank you for this documentary. They need to show this in every government school in this country
