The Film
Taino Daca (I Am) explores Taino history, culture and the indigenous identity throughout the Caribbean and its Diaspora. Considered extinct for more than 500 years since their encounter with Christopher Columbus on his first voyage to the New World, Tainos are today on a quest to claim back their identity and rewrite their history.
