Sugar Island
**Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival Screening — Tues. March 31, 7 PM** Sugar Island immerses us in the Dominican Republic’s sugarcane fields, where Makenya, a Dominican-Haitian teenager, navigates an unwanted pregnancy and the harsh labor that defines her world. Director Johanné Gómez Terrero masterfully blends social realism, spirituality, and Afro-futurism to expose the enduring legacy of colonial exploitation. As Makenya confronts family burdens and the specter of displacement, a mysterious theater troupe's arrival illuminates the haunting connections between past and present struggles. As Makenya battles for her future, her grandfather fights for justice, and displacement looms, the film delivers a lyrical, visually rich exploration of identity, survival, and the enduring power of cultural memory.PT1H31M2026-03-31Yelidá Díaz
