In an abandoned factory, a stage set was erected in the form of a mock-up of a slave ship with "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" emblazoned on its upper deck. This symbolic ship serves as a complex multi-purpose stage on which important historical events related to French colonialism in the Caribbean are presented, with a particular focus on the links between the West Indies and France. The ship itself is a microcosm of colonialism, illustrating its hierarchies, inequalities and inner turmoil. From government meetings to street protests, from the slave trade to labor migration, numerous themes are brought to life through dramatic forms inspired by the revue and Brecht, complemented by dance and music.
Med Hondo's West Indies: The Fugitive Slaves of Liberty is one of the first of its kind in Africa and was funded at the time with an unprecedented budget for an African production. Almost half a century after its release, it remains a unique masterpiece and a milestone in African cinema.
