The filmmaking journey of the writer and director of GUIANA1838 began right from his early years when his grandmother would tell him tales of how they came on ships from India to the British Caribbean. The story telling usually happened after dinner when the family would sit around an old lantern and listen as Grandma went into great detail narrating tales of a time when the mighty British empire owned colonies in the British West Indies and the Caribbean. A time when millions of helpless men, women and children were left for want so that sugar production would prosper for the British plantation owners. Rohit listened attentively to the stories as his Grandmother described the people and their struggles on the land on which she once worked and lived on. As the years went by, stories of Rohit's ancestors would evolve into a screenplay which he wrote and directed for the big screen. Guiana 1838 is now available on DVD. BUY THE DVD NOW - CLICK HERE
