Directed by David Ritter

Forgotten Faces is a video documentary project that raises awareness of and celebrates the minority ethnic groups of the West Indies. Many people are unaware of the existence of populations of Jamaicans and Haitians of white European, Chinese, East Indian, and Middle Eastern descent, living in Jamaica and Haiti. These ethnic groups are diminishing in the West Indies, but have played very important roles in the history of these countries and their culture. People interviewed are from diverse backgrounds, including: celebrity, middle class, those with political goals, those who wish to affect their country in massive ways, and those who simply want to live their lives in the country they love. General reactions to white Jamaicans and white Haitians range from amazement to shock and disbelief, and, even to hostility. These reactions are followed by questions: Who are these people? How did they get here? What is their "story"? How do other Jamaicans and Haitians feel about them? Forgotten Faces addresses these questions.

some of these minority groups have experienced racism and discrimination from both their governments and the general populace. Many of these incidents have gone unreported and have, in some cases, been renumbered in the history books of Jamaica, Haiti, and the United States. These people have a story to tell about their hardships and about their accomplishments.


Aesthetic treatment and artistic voice:
Through interviews with Jamaicans of white European, Chinese, East Indian, and Middle Eastern descent, and Haitians of similar descent, Forgotten Faces raises awareness to the existence of these minority groups and tells some of the history of how they migrated to Jamaica and Haiti. Those interviewed span generations, providing a contemporary and historical context. The interviews take place in the homes and businesses owned by those being interviewed, or in public places, such as a café. Touching on subjects, including race, politics, and culture, the interviews reveal the way in which these minority groups are woven into the fabric of West Indian life. Historic and contemporary images of Haiti and Jamaica, as well as Haitian and Jamaican historical figures, supplement the interview footage, helping to tell the stories of migration and the forming of the minority communities.
