For centuries, Suriname’s Maroons have preserved ancestral traditions and resisted capitalist encroachment. But climate change and gold mining now threaten their way of life. Monikondee (Money Land) follows Boogie, a boatman delivering vital goods to Maroon and Indigenous communities along the river border between Suriname and French Guiana. As the demands of his money-driven work grow, they begin to conflict with his traditional obligations. The film unfolds through a collaborative, immersive lens, blending participatory cinema with mato—a Maroon storytelling tradition where audiences help shape the tale. Through collective narration, Monikondee explores community, tradition, and the pull of economic survival.
