Trial access to Caribbean Studies in Video: The Banyan Archive

By Sarah Gilmore, on 7 September 2016

UCL has trial access to Caribbean Studies in Video: The Banyan Archive from Alexander Street until 7th October 2016.

The programs and unedited footage of this database started to be produced in the 1970s, by the Banyan Production company, based in Trinidad and Tobago, with the mission of providing the Caribbean people with the means to tell their stories to one another without influence from the outside world.

The innovative, cultural, and entertaining programs produced by the Banyan form a comprehensive archive that documents the last 40 years of life in the Caribbean.

Caribbean Studies in Video: The Banyan Archive features a mixture of history, entertainment, and social commentary and covers documentary, drama, music, dance, and much more, spanning the past 40 years.
