Nicely done. Very poignant.

Ian Harnarine is also writing a feature with Spike Lee right now...

Met someone from the TT Film Board last year and he said at the time scouting locations were being done to make a film based on one of the books by Canadian based TT author, Rabindranath Maharaj.

Sorry forgot which of RM's book it is.
