Between The Americas = Tussen de Amerika's Listening to San Blas
The Islands of San Blas are inhabited by the Kuna people, an Indigenous people who live on the rhythm of nature. As their islands are at the forefront of climate change, with the Caribbean Sea rising continuously, they face a huge dilemma: relocate to the mainland or to wait until the water comes? Stef Biemans preserves the last sounds of this extraordinary culture: a sewing machine, the threatening waves, a grated coconut and the singing palm tree.
Between the Americas is a search for the iconic sounds of Central America, and what they signify. Journalist Stef Biemans listens to what Central America has to tell, and illuminates the delicate situation in a kaleidoscope of sounds and stories.
