Aboard a giant slave ship in an abandoned Citroën factory, the history of the West Indies is traced through several centuries of French oppression. The ship becomes a stage for the people to tell stories via song and dance—from their enslavement to their displacement in Metropolitan France.
Taken during the filming of "West Indies," this film shows the making of the monumental set in the middle of the former Citroën factory, as well as backstage activity and rehearsals on the set.
