Vanishing Sail, award winning Caribbean feature Doc coming to Plymouth
On the island of Carriacou in the West Indies, the last wooden sailboat builder dreams of saving a great tradition passed down the generations from Scottish settlers that sailed there centuries ago. The film follows Alwyn's journey over three years, from hauling trees with his sons, to a final traditional launching ceremony. Stories of the old Caribbean - trading by sail and smuggling contraband interweave a tribute to the independent spirit of a small island community.
Vanishing Sail has been screened all over the world at film festivals and special event screenings and is now coming Plymouth Arts Center.
