Those Who Looked to the Sea: The Americas

This documentary looks at communities across the Americas who turned to the hostile sea for freedom and protection. In Honduras, the Garifuna descend from enslaved people who escaped their fate by settling along the coast, building a culture shaped by the ocean. The film explores how the water became a refuge rather than only a threat. An illuminating watch for anyone interested in the Americas, cultural history, and the human bond with the sea.
