En la República Dominicana, los esclavos africanos que escaparon de los señores españoles se fueran vivir con los nativos Taína o construiran sus propias comunidades en las tierras distantes de la Hispaniola, eran conocidos como "cimarrones". Nuestro documental examina el sincretismo cultural de las celebraciones y creencias de los cimarrones, que están llenos de la magia, la fantasía y la religiosidad popular.
Na República Dominicana, os escravos africanos que fugiam dos senhores espanhóis para viver com nativos Taínos ou criar suas próprias comunidades nas remotas fronterias das terras de Hispaniola, eram conhecidos como “cimarrones” , que significa “maroons”. Nosso documentário examina o sincretismo cultural das celebrações e crençås dos cimarrons, que são repletas de mágica, fantasia e religiosidade popular.
In the Dominican Republic, as early as 1512, African slaves escaped from Spanish plantations and lived with the island’s Taíno Indians or on their own in remote Hispaniola. These people who were known as “cimarrones,”meaning “maroons,” created their own independent communities that have survived for centuries. These resilient and resourceful “outlaws” have long developed their own celebrations. This documentary examines cimarrón cultural celebrations and beliefs, in an effort to highlight the full cultural diversity of the Dominican Republic.

This enlightening portrait joins African American social activist Julian Bond as he traces his roots back to slavery. A leader in the Civil Rights Movement, Julian Bond was among the founders of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, a leader of the 1963 March on Washington, and a Georgia legislator for twenty years. Now in his seventies, Bond recalls the experience of growing up in the segregated south, where his parents’ belief in hard work and education lifted the family out of what he describes as an apartheid system. An erudite, well-spoken man, audiences visit his classroom at the University of Virginia where he shares with a new generation the turbulent years of the Civil Rights Movement. Julian Bond’s recollections chronicle several turbulent decades of American history, as society was evolving to allow more opportunity to African Americans. An essential documentary for African American Studies, American History, and Sociology courses. College Adult High School Junior High School
