“Remembering brave West Indian fighters”<\/strong>
Trinidad and Tobago Guardian<\/em>, 6th November 2015<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The West Indies at War is a four-part television series that tells the little known story of soldiers from the West Indies who fought and died in World War I. Many of these valiant men were not allowed to enlist because of their race. After months of struggle and with a steadily rising death toll on battlefields across the world, the men of the Caribbean were finally allowed into the fray. The West Indies at War was produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Mariel Brown who said she was driven to produce this television series as when the World War I centenary celebrations began there was a noticeable absence of historical accounts on the involvement of the West Indies and its people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
