Join a young Bermudian Gombey on a breathtaking journey as he encounters his ancestors in a tale that is as gripping as it is mystical. The Gombey is a masked performance tradition rooted in African, Native American and Bermudian ancestry that has been part of Bermuda's cultural identity for centuries. This poetic six-minute short film captures the essence of the Bermuda Gombey and Bermudian culture in a way never seen before, weaving spoken word poetry with dreamlike visuals to explore themes of ancestry, identity and spiritual guidance
