Our Journey So Far (2016)
Filmed & edited by Robert Martin Kelly
Interviewer Louise Chandler (Soundbite Media)
Produced by BAFA Reading (Barbados And Friends Association)
Funded by Heritage Lottery Fund
I produced a 60 minute documentary as part of a Heritage Project to commemorate the 50 years since Barbados acheived independence. In October 2016 the film premiered at Reading Town Hall as part of a Cultural Extravaganza event. I also provided short audio clips from the interviews for the exhibition at Reading Museum so that people could learn about Bajan history and the artefacts on display. The documentary is a revealing and rich history of valuable stories that contribute towards the cultural heritage of the Barbadian community, contributors shared previously untold stories about life on the island, why Reading was chosen as home and what the town looked like from the 1950s onwards.
