  • "Tells the story of the Mascogos, known in the United States as the Black Seminoles. They came to Mexico in 1850 escaping from the harsh living conditions of the North. They made the long journey from the peninsula of Florida before arriving to the northern state of Coahuila, Mexico."
  • ""This documentary tells the remarkable story of a rebel people, the Mascogos, known in the United States as the Black Seminoles. This exceptional community, whose history crosses, borders, languages, and cultures, is descended from escaped slaves who made common cause with the Seminole Indians of Florida. The fierce battles of the Black and Indian Seminoles with the United States in the mid-1800s ended in truce rather than defeat, and they resettled along both sides of the Mexican border ... [Mascogo] culture combines African-American spirituals, Indian fry-bread, and Tex-Mex cowboy culture ... and their old language combined West African, Native American, English, and Spanish. But these old ways have been dying along with the elders who practiced them, and young Mascogo and Black Seminoles have lost touch with a heritage which is not taught in school and which risks total assimilation into mainstream Mexican and U.S. culture. Filmed on both sides of the border, this video documents the complex history of people of African descent caught between national boundaries, and the efforts of their descendants to maintain their culture and instill a sense of pride in future generations"--Latin American Video Archives web site."
