THREE STORIES

1. Ricardo, a Garifuna teacher in the United States sets out to help his village in Central America by building a school there, but runs into opposition when his brother becomes embroiled in a shady land deal, prompting Ricardo to confront land rights issues as he pushes his educational and cultural agenda.

2. Nusi, the leader of a Garifuna village in Central America, immigrates to the United States to gain support for his village back home and faces unexpected challenges in when he settles for a low paying job and faces the temptations of materialism and infidelity while trying to make a better life for himself.

3. Awanda, a Garifuna lawyer in the United States, learns of the struggles of Ricardo and Nusi and launches a legal case to fight for Garifuna land rights in international court.  In the process of researching the case (by traveling to Honduras and Belize), she also pursues her secondary cause of AIDS education.

OVER 40 ROLES FOR ACTORS

Most of the roles are for Garifuna speakers (we can help with language coaching if you are not fluent).  There are also some smaller roles in Spanish and English.  We will try to incorporate everyone who is interested in some way.  Previous acting experience is not required.  You do not need to prepare anything for the audition - you will be reading from the script.  Actors appearing in the films will receive screen credit, but all roles are unpaid.
