Les Garifuna sont des descendants de métis d'Arawaks et d'Africains. Tous deux peuples se sont rencontrés dans le marronage fuyant l'esclavage. Ils ont donc créé une langue originale à partir de cette union.

On trouve des communautés Garifuna en Amérique Centrale notamment au Honduras.

Bien évidemment, leur culture extra minoritaire est menacée ainsi que leur environnement comme on le voit dans le film, où les autorités veulent implanter un super projet touristique sur leurs terres.

La culture Garifuna avec sa musique, ses danses et ses rituels est de toute beauté. Ainsi que les gens eux-mêmes.

Je vous encourage fortement à vous procurer le DVD de ce film émouvant qui a été récompensé dans de nombreux festivals. Rien que du plaisir pour la modeste somme de 10$.

Garifuna In Peril has screened to large audiences at over 40 film festivals in 10 countries, and attracted media interest due to its status as the first dramatic film primarily in Garifuna, a language proclaimed by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The film was shot in Honduras and the United States, with a cast of newcomers, and features 19 songs of Garifuna music in its soundtrack. While the film is in Garifuna, English and Spanish; viewers have the option of seeing the film with subtitles in English or Spanish on the DVD.

Awards won by the Garifuna In Peril Film include:

‘Best Narrative Feature’ at The 2013 Arizona International Film Festival
‘Indie Spirit Special Recognition’ at The 2013 Boston International Film Festival
‘Golden Remi for Docu-Drama’ at The 2013 Worldfest Festival in Houston
‘Audience Choice’ at The 2013 Festival de Cinema Latino American di Trieste (Italy)

The plot of the film follows the journey of a Garifuna language teacher Ricardo in Los Angeles as he struggles to be a good father, husband and brother while taking responsibility to preserve his native language, traditional culture and community lands against the expansion of tourism. Ricardo’s plans to build a Garifuna language school on the north coast of Honduras become complicated by the expansion plans of a tourist resort in the area and personal betrayal pushes him to travel to Honduras and directly confront land issues in tandem with his educational mission. Meanwhile, Ricardo’s son Elijah rehearses a theater play dramatizing an episode from the life of Garifuna Paramount Chief Joseph Satuyé and his last stand against the British on the island of St. Vincent.
