Synopsis

Based on a true story, "Songs of Sugarcane" tells the tale of two boys, an African and an Indian, who are growing up on a sugar plantation in Guyana, as a slave and indentured laborer respectively, trying to re-gain their freedom. The plantation owner beats the two boys and treats his workers badly but does not realize that one of the boys, Panday, is actually his son, the result of the rape of his mother by the plantation owner. A rebellion takes place, and in the ensuing melee the truth is revealed in tragic Shakespearean terms.
