Comments:

"The Native Film Night at the George Wright Society conference was a moving event. Thank you for producing the Finding Our Talk series, and for allowing me to show excerpts from the Chitimacha episode. It was well-received, and sparked interest for some people who didn't know about the Rosetta Stone program." - Sharon Franklet, George Wright Society

Scarred by 500 years of slavery and colonial plunder, the islands of São Tomé and Principe are an enigma. Located off the West coast of Africa, they may be the most obscure country in the world. Many maps of Africa don't even show them. Once famous as major suppliers of cocoa, the diminutive islands haven't been heard of for a long time -- since the turn of the last century. Saga of the Chocolate Islands explores the country and its often mystifying history in a series of short portraits. Together they show the long term consequences of colonialism.
