Island in the Sun (1957)

Directed by Robert Rossen and featuring an all-star cast including James Mason, Joan Fontaine, Dorothy Dandridge, and Harry Belafonte, Island in the Sun was a groundbreaking film for its time. Filmed on location in Grenada and Barbados, it not only showcased the stunning beauty of the Caribbean but also tackled bold themes of race, class, and identity.

For Grenada, the film represents a significant cultural artefact. It captured the island's landscapes, its people, and its spirit, preserving a vision of our nation that continues to resonate. This screening series honours the film as a powerful document of our heritage and a source of national pride.
