In this episode we dissect how Caribbean culture is represented in series like Netflix's 'Survival of the Thickest', Amazon Prime's 'Harlem,' ABC's 'This is Us,' and HBO Max's 'Full Circle.'
We also explore the importance of having Caribbean actors, producers, and filmmakers at the helm of creating authentic cultural narratives. We talk about the subtleties of character development and the significance of filming on-location in places like Guyana to immerse viewers in the Caribbean experience. We touch on the portrayal of Caribbean accents in the media - an intriguing conversation sparked by the influence of films like 'Black Panther' and the anticipation around the upcoming Bob Marley biopic.
Looking ahead, we offer a glimpse into the upcoming Hulu series based on the book 'Black Cake'. We discuss the importance of empowering Caribbean creators to tell their own stories, and the opportunities this presents for the broader Caribbean community. Join us in our next episode as we further deliberate on 'Black Cake' and its potential impact on amplifying Caribbean voices in the media.
