Michael Channan's assertion that the history of documentary is a history of forgetfulness has particular resonance in the Caribbean and prompts us to consider in this forum not only the ways that the region's cinema exists across linguistic and national borders, but also how it has been constituted and developed over time. The essay seeks to fill in some of the contours of this early expression of indigenous cinema in the region with particular reference to Barbados and two of the films made by the Barbados Film Unit. The essay explores how film connected the scattered colonies of the West Indies and the role it played in Barbadian society in the decade that preceded independence
