About
Earlier this year, Jennifer Laurent-Smart impressed everyone by showcasing her elegant Dominican dress as part of Cultural Style Week.
Through our new documentary film project, we are planning to dive even deeper into her personal story and offer a fascinating look into the history behind Caribbean Madras clothing.
Featuring archive footage and additional interviewees, the documentary will also explore the origin of Creole Caribbean traditional Madras clothing, its links to India, Africa, slavery and its use today.
Cineworld O2 Screening & Q&A Panel
On the 27th of October, at Cineworld O2 in Greenwich, London, we will be hosting the premiere screning. After the screening, a panel discussion will explore the heritage of Caribbean cultural dress, its past entanglement with slavery and colonialism, modern-day use and hopes for the future.
The docu-film will then be released on social media acting as an educational and inspirational resource for the Caribbean diaspora and beyond.
We need your help!
We have had very little success with funding and sponsorship and need your help!
We currently have a £3k funding gap to complete post-production and clear other expenses connected to the project. Please help us create this wonderful resource by making a donation today.
