Cry of a Cursed Plantation (2013)
Reshna, a student in the Netherlands, visits her sick father in Suriname. When her family tells her what made her father ill and that it has to do with his past on plantation Mariënburg, she sets out to investigate. She finds out more and more and through flashbacks, the 1902 uprising is shown. Poor Hindustani and Javanese farmers were put to work on the plantation but were very poorly paid, and after a new Scottish director took office for the NHM (Dutch Trading Company) who abused and intimidated the farmers' wives, a decision to strike was made in July 1902. After the society used violence that left dozens dead, rebellion broke out.

Guiana 1838 (2004)
The abolition of slavery in the British Caribbean in 1834 prompts Gillanders, Arbuthnot & Company in Calcutta, a part of the East India Company, to recruit Coolies from India to fill the resulting labor void. The company hires Sinha, a fierce small-timer to sell dreams of El Dorado to the unsuspecting, impoverished Coolies who are signed to five-year contracts as indentured servants. Upon the Coolies' arrival in British Guiana in 1838, the British planters promptly enslave them to ensure that the growth of sugar in the British West Indies will continue uninterrupted. John Scoble of the British and Foreign Anti Slavery Society arrives on the colony a year later to discover a new form of slavery; this time on the backs of Indians.

Coconut/Cane & Cutlass (1994)
Intersections of the autobiographical voice (in the realm of mythic/memory and the personal) co-mingle with the historical, to produce a film that is neither an "official historical document" nor a "personal history." Instead, "Coconut/Cane & Cutlass" is a hybrid fusion of the autobiographical, historical and experiential, in an episodic structure that is richly textured and layered with optically printed imagery, front-screen projection, re-created archival images, oral narratives/histories, a spirit dance, and theatrically stylized dramatic scenes. The poetic, fragmented style and structure of the film represent the exile's internal struggle to "reconstitute" her own sense of self in relation to her history and ancestry.

The Third Way to Reach Remote Tribes (2011)
Communication is a reality of the 21st Century, even for the most isolated people. Remote tribes around the world struggle to adapt to the intrusions of the Western civilization. This film brings forward tribes scattered on 5 continents: the San of the Kalahari Desert, the native tribes from the Amazonian forest, the Inuit from the Arctic polar circle, the Pygmies of the Congo rain forest, the indigenous of the Vanuatu archipelago and the Hmong tribes from Northern Vietnam. Their contact with the white civilization throughout history followed the way of violence and the way of abandonment. 16 years ago, someone found another way: A Third Way to reach tribes. This is the story of a new approach and communication between civilizations.
