CROSSING THE WATERS
Bahamians have a rich and intricate history with communities and places in America, which is often overlooked. I was involved as Director of Photography, shooting and editing, this documentary that highlights the influence of Bahamian pioneers in the development of South Florida. The film is a combination of entertainment and education, and it helps connect people by sharing the stories of the people, events, places, and experiences that Bahamians have shared in South Florida.
