Time to Party Trini Style

What a nice little movie.

Very rarely does a movie capture both the Caribbean feel and culture, then put it on film for non West Indians to understand and appreciate. Carival Roots traces the roots from African culture into modern day Trinidad's carnival.

Overall, the movie is far more entertaining than informative. The history of Carnival was touched on but seem to deal more with today's canivals than the "Roots of Carnival." Its a nice little film with bright colors, good music and lots of jokes. Spend your money and be entertainted for 90 minutes.
