Coconut Grove, Florida - View an early trailer for VOICES -- an independent documentary project
that captured the stories of descendants of the original settlers of
Coconut Grove (Miami) Florida. Filmed over nearly five years, this
snippet from a longer feature-length film highlights the filmmaker's
approach to his subject and showcases local artist JD Danner, whose
haunting "Almost Home" captures the flavor of sentiments expressed by
many of these children of the original builders of Coconut Grove and
Miami.

documentary by Bahamian filmmaker Jeffrey Poitier, nephew of the great
Sidney Poitier, premiered at the AMC Theater in the beautiful CocoWalk
at Coconut Grove this past Saturday the 25th of October.
