Directed by Carmen Ashhurst, Samori Marksman, and John Douglas • 1983 • Grenada, United States
GRENADA: THE FUTURE COMING TOWARDS US examines the aims and accomplishments of the Caribbean New Jewel Movement and the reasons for the 1983 US military invasion of Grenada. The film puts these events in perspective by tracing Grenada’s early history, from the annihilation of the indigenous Caribs by the European colonial powers—who imported African slaves to grow cash crops for export—to the evolution of modern Grenadian society, including the oppressive regime of Eric Gairy (1974–79).
