Akwantu: The Journey, Director: Roy Anderson, Jamaica, 2012, 87mins

Little is known about the Maroons of Jamaica: the enslaved Africans whose rebellions were victorious in their 19-year fight for self-government from the British in 1739, almost sixty years before the Haitian Revolution (1791), and nearly 100 years before the abolition of the slave trade (1834) in the British colonies. Anderson, a Maroon descendent, takes us from remote regions of Jamaica’s Blue and John Crow Mountains, to the coastal regions of Ghana and its interior, and to the isolated Maroon community of Accompong.
