Set sail with Marlin Darrah, the worlds most traveled filmmaker, to explore several island gems sprinkled throughout the Caribbean. Countries and cities visited are San Juan, Puerto Rico; Havana, Cuba; St. Barts; St. Maarten; Antigua; Dominica; St. Lucia; and Barbados. <\/p>\n
The Caribbean features some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world from beaches to forests to mountains, with blue water, flowers, and brightly-colored birds. <\/p>\n
The islands were settled by migrant tribes from South America, gold-seeking Spaniards and European planters from France, England, Netherlands and Denmark. <\/p>\n
Add pirates, an African slave culture, Indians, Chinese, Syrians, Lebanese, more South Americans, and you have the recipe that makes up these islands. <\/p>\n
The racial mix has produced an astonishing musical and artistic energy, which comes together in the week of Carnival. <\/p>\n
This film was shot in 2013 on High-Definition video. <\/p>\n
Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students, available at the door. For information, call the NIACC Continuing Education office, 641-422-4358. <\/p>\n
