Movie Reviews of Guiana 1838
Movie Review: Finally....OUR story is told
Summary: 5 Stars
I went to see this movie at a cinema when it was released years ago. It was more than what I expected: very professionally done and authentically Guyanese. I firmly believe that this is important for all Guyanese to see, especially Indo-Guyanese youth. Watching this will help them appreciate the struggle and strength of their forefathers. It will educate them about their roots and give them a sense of pride in being Guyanese of South Asian origin. This film should be more widely available so more people could get the opportunity to see it and be enlightened. Finally, a film about OUR story and it really is one that needed to be told. I hope more movies like this will be made in the future because it is so important for us to understand our past, have pride in who we are as a people, and embrace both our South Asian and Guyanese heritage. I really applaud the great effort and thought put into this wonderful film.
