Launch of DVD "Voices of a Century"

Details

"Voices of a Century" began as a still photography venture to capture the etchings created by time and living, on the faces and bodies of one hundred year old East Indians. The stories that emerged through interviews and old artifacts, yielded an image of a landscape, that we in the twenty-first century can only imagine through snippets of what remain in the form of an old building, a pillar along a roadway or a fragment of an old train line. The nuances of these voices, which house remnants of a language and manner of speech along with memories, were too rich not to be captured in live audio and video. The East Indian centenarians, whose faces and voices are featured here, were all born in the mid to latter part of the 1920s. Through them we see Trinidad, as well as a community, in transition. We hope that this short documentary in some way succeeds in giving volume to some of these voices that are a part of the making of Trinidad and Tobago.
