A group of us is in the process of making a documentary on our Indentured Ancestors. Our ancestors were lured from India to British Guiana, to sweat and toil in the sugar plantations. They were recruited by the rich British Landlords as Indentured Labourers on a five-year stint and were promised return "passages" back to India. Their lives were reduced to semi-slavery.Their enduring spirit, resilience and indomitable courage were remarkable. Kudos to our Indentured Ancestors!
