Children of God
is the religious concept that human beings are regarded by
God as his
children, and is used by Christians to refer to human divinity. It is the story
of
two individua
 ls who learn that in order to live a truly happy life you
have to risk speaking and acting on your true feelings. Set against the
backdrop
of a nation grappling with violent homophobia, this film tells the story
of
Jon, a white Bahamian artist who faces losing his scholarship at a
local University and Lena a conservative religious woman who is
struggling with a crumbling marriage. Both escape city life in Nassau
to the island
of Eleuthera, where their worlds
collide in a fashion that will surprise audiences. The film was shot
last summer entirely in the Bahamas in Nassau and Eleuthera.
The film stars Van Brown, Johnny Ferro, Mark Ford, Margaret Kemp, Stephen Tyrone Williams and a plethora
of Bahamian cast.
Free Swim is an award winning documentary film about the paradox of coastal people not knowing how to swim. Taking place on the island of Eleuthera in The Bahamas we follow a group of kids as they overcome their fears, gain confidence and reconnect with their environment by learning to swim in open waters. With fresh memories of a friend drowning and the conflicts of growing tourism, for these kids it’s not just about floating, but gaining new skills for their future.
