Best Narrative Feature
A Garifuna language teacher struggles to preserve his indigenous Honduran culture in the face of the encroaching western influence of the tourism industry. The combination of Garifuna dialogue, a naturalistic filming style, and cast of mostly first-time actors lends to a sense of urgency in this ultimately uplifting narrative.
