A short film produced by Dr David Dabydeen gives a cleareyed perspective of the situation that afflicts the workers and the communities linked with the nowclosed Wales Estate. The situation as the film narrates is similar to the circumstances that grips thousands of Guyanese and scores of communities across the country as the Government illconsidered and clearly callous policy of sugar miniataurisation takes hold with delterious consqeunces as the short film illustrates. Indeed, it is a policy that has no credible explanation and one that spells terrible times for the future.
