Guiana 1838 The Movie - During the 1800's, British merchants continued to import slaves to labor on sugar cane plantations in Guyana, Trinidad, Jamaica and other colonies of the West Indies and the Caribbean. Even colonies as far as Fiji and Mauritius. By 1833 Britain had passed the Slavery Abolition Act resulting in a large - scale shortage of laborers on the colonies. In order to save their plantations from ruin, British merchants hired recruiters in India to sell dreams of El Dorado to unsuspecting " Coolies " and lure them to the colonies as Indentured laborers. Now thousands of poor helpless men, women and children are left abandoned to want, that the growth of sugar in the West Indies may not languish. This award winning film by Rohit Jagessar tells the story of their plight and ultimate triumph. Guiana 1838 DVD - Order Now www.guiana1838.com
