Abstract

German
Nach 85jährigem Guerillakrieg gegen die britische Sklavenhaltergesellschaft schlossen die 'Maroons' genannten schwarzen Freiheitskämpfer Jamaikas 1739 einen Friedensvertrag mit der Kolonialmacht. Seit damals leben sie als weitgehend unabhängige Gesellschaften in ihren Enklaven. Der Film dokumentiert diese Maroon-Kultur, die in ihren Grundzügen auf afrikanischen Traditionen aufbaut.

In 1739 the devastating war between the first black freedom fighters in the "New World" against the British slaveholders came to an end with the signing of a peace treaty, which guaranteed autonony and independence to the the Maroons of Jamaica. They fought hard to defend their status of independent societies since then. The film introduces the culture of the Maroons which is rooted in African traditions.
