The film recounts the painful past of the Caribs on the island of St. Vincent in the Caribbean, their extermination at the hands of the British 200+ years ago, the decimation of their culture on the island, and their exile to Central America where much of that culture survived, even thrived.

Yurumein: Homeland – website
Yurumein: Homeland is a documentary film produced by director Andrea Leland in 2013.
I designed the home site for the film to reflect the colorful tropic themes and hues of Caribbean culture and maintain an easy to navigate flow of information. The site was designed to also link the visitor to other films by Andrea and ways to purchase these online. She also wished to allow visitors to easily join her mailing list on Caribbean culture topics and be able to make donations to future film projects. Screenings are listed where the film is shown to a live audience both in the U.S. and abroad.
