"Taino Daka"
Producer/Director/Editor - Alex Zacarias
A man is on a journey to reclaim his Caribbean indigenous identity as a
Taino. History books say that the Taino People have been extinct for the
past 525 years since their first encounter with Christopher Columbus on
his first voyage to the New World. He is faced with many obstacles both
from within and from institutions that continue to keep the Taino People
in the past. “TAINO DAKA (I AM)” documentary explores Taino history,
culture and the indigenous identity throughout the Caribbean and the
Diaspora. The Taino are reclaiming their identity and just as history
wrote them out of history they are rewriting themselves back into
history
