Three documentaries about steelbands will make their debut at this year’s trinidad+tobago film festival, which takes place from September 19 – 26 at MovieTowne Port of Spain, San Fernando, and Tobago, as well as the University of the West Indies (UWI), St Augustine.
James O’Connor’s film To Be A Renegade, captures the story of the BP Renegades through an examination of the violent beginnings of pan, the era of change, and its present state as a positive influence on communities, with steelbands now travelling abroad as international ambassadors.
Featuring players, founding members and supporters, the documentary funded by BP Trinidad and Tobago, seeks to show what it really means to be a Renegade. As part of its support for the film, BPTT is sponsoring a free screening of To Be A Renegade on Friday, September 22 at 8:30pm, at MovieTowne Port of Spain. Tickets will be available from the box office on a first-come-first-served basis, at the start of the Festival.
