In the Shadow of Our Ghosts
Synopsis
On 29 April 2006, a twenty-foot boat was spotted off the south-eastern coast of Barbados. On board, eleven bodies were found by coastguards, preserved and sun-dried. The ghost ship had been drifting for four months on the Atlantic Ocean. The film presents an inadequate narrative of a story that relies on media sources to evoke the complicity of the weather, ocean currents, and state violence in the ship’s journey. The glide between film and forms tests the measurement of tragedies related to crossings and immigration, highlighting the power of the sea and the horror of the figure of the ghost ship.
