In Moussa Toure's powerful epic fiction film, a group of 30 men sail to Europe in a pirogue, facing the sea - and the possibility of never reaching their destination - in exchange for the myth of a better life in Europe. Baye Laye is the captain of a fishing pirogue. Like many of his Senegalese compatriots, he sometimes dreams of new horizons, where he can earn a better living for his family. When he is offered to lead one of the many pirogues that head towards Europe via the Canary Island, he reluctantly accepts the job, knowing full-well the dangers that lie ahead. Leading a group of 30 men who don't all speak the same language, some of whom have never seen the sea, Baye Laye will confront many perils in order to reach the distant coasts of Europe.

Three-quarters of a century old and with forty years of publishing behind him, Arif Ali is an extraordinary man. He was born in Guyana in 1935. Two of his grandparents were Indian indentured labourers. In 1957, he came to England to study, but ended up educating himself. By the 1980s, he was publishing three weekly newspapers and two monthly magazines, employing a total of 140 staff. The circulation of the weekly Caribbean Times peaked at 28,000, averaging around 10,000. In all his publications, Arif was reaching a readership of about half a million people. He also published books and Hansib Publications is still the biggest and most diverse Black book publisher in Britain.This book traces the tradition of Caribbean publishing in Britain, starting in the nineteenth century with the revolutionary Jamaican Robert Wedderburn, Celestine Edwards from Dominica who published Lux and Fraternity, and the Trinidadian barrister Henry Sylvester Williams. From the first half of the twentieth century, it records the work of the two Jamaicans Harold Moody (The Keys) and Marcus Garvey (Black Man), and also Ras T. Makonnen from Guyana. After the Second World War, two key publishers were Claudia Jones from Trinidad with the West Indian Gazette and Edward Scobie from Dominica who produced Tropic and Flamingo.The second part of the book describes Arif’s native country Guyana, from its original inhabitants the Amerindians, through colonialism, slavery and indentured labour to independence. From a series of interviews, the third section records Arif’s background and achievements in publishing and applauds his reputation for anti-racist campaigning and community activity, which is second to none.

- The video begins in the Sidi Fort at Janjira Island, built during the heyday of Sidi powers in the Mughal period.
- It then surveys the music and dances of African-Indian men, women, and children in Karnataka, Hyderabad, Bombay, and Gujarat.
- Exciting footage of ritual events shows the stages of music during ecstatic trance, exorcism, and celebratory rites, when both male and female Sidi Sufi saints are invoked through euphoric rhythms, voices, and communal dances.
- Musical instruments such as footed drums, coconut rattles, armpit-held drums, and braced musical bows show the retention of African musical practices.
- In excerpts from a conference for Sidis and scholars, Sidis present their own views on their history, contemporary issues, and future prospects.
- The film concludes with exciting concert footage from the first international Sidi tour of England and Wales in 2002.
Narrated by UCLA ethnomusicologists Amy and Nazir Jairazbhoy.

The sugar industry in Trinidad and Tobago has been considerably reduced in size and no longer dominates the landscape of central Trinidad as it had done for more than two centuries. During these gruelling years, African and Indian labourers toiled in the production of ‘brown gold’, rum, molasses, bagasse and other by-products. Many thousands of workers were engaged in this endeavour and a unique culture developed in the sugar belt.By the middle of the twentieth century, most of the elements of the industry were undergoing significant changes as modern technology replaced older, less efficient modes of production. Tractors and trucks were replacing the ox and mule carts; expanding railway systems were making the cane traces and watering coppers obsolete; and concrete dwellings were being built in place of the tapia houses and carat-leaved ajoupas.At this critical juncture of modernisation, Garnet Ifill, a young and visionary photographer, decided to capture the fading heritage. His unique collection of photographs is, therefore, a permanent reminder of a bygone era.
