The Other Side of Carnival is a 48-minute documentary that looks at the origins of Carnival and the ways the event affects
the social and economic aspects in Trinidad & Tobago. Interviews with over 60 people--from economists, historians,
nurses, police officers, students, business owners, revellers- build a picture of what Trinbagonians say are the positives
and negatives of the event on their country.
Consummating from over two years of research and interviews
and with the coordination of a multi-national crew (Trinidad & Tobago, US and UK), The Other Side of Carnival
does not pass judgment on Carnival in Trinidad & Tobago, but aims to bring an awareness of the type of influence
that Carnival has on the population
The
Other Side of Carnival
will be aired exclusively on Gayelle The Channel at 8:00pm on February 11th and repeated on Saturday afternoon
at 2:00.
