The teenage life and adventures of young José, who lives in a shanty-town on Martinique in the mid-1930s, comprises the body of this film. José lives with his grandmother and is well aware of the French colonial presence. He gets into mischief, learns valuable lessons on living from an old former slave, drinks too much one time, and even sets fire to one of the run-down shanties. Regardless of his pranks, José never neglects his education.

A three-part documentary about Martinican poet Aimé Césaire. "The first part covers the poet's life, works and political action. Aimé Césaire takes the audience on a tour of his beloved Martinique. [The second part deals with] the ethics, the theory and the philosophy of negritude in its beginnings. Césaire reflects on his various Parisian encounters with intellectuals ... as well as his encounter with Africa through the mediation of Léopold Sédar Senghor. [The third part attempts to answer the questions,] how does one find "the strength to face tomorrow" after the disappointments of decolonization, the failures in the Third World, the "ills of development" [--and the strength to face] the planetary crisis?"--Container.

Part 1 or a 3 part series on the Martinique author, Aime Cesaire, introduces Cesaire, his wife Suzanne who founded in 1939 the seminal literary review, Tropiques, a journal which influenced Caribbean intellectuals and spawned the Negritude Literary Movement. After WWII, Cesaire served as mayor of Fort-de-France and Martinique's representative in the French National Assembly during the crucial years of decolonization. He discusses the difficulty of balancing the life of a poet with that of a practical politician for over 50 years.

In Part 3 or this 3 part series Cesaire responds to the disappointments of the post-colonial world and expresses his hopes for the future. In the 1960s his plays were among the first to warn of the dangers of neo-colonialism. French anthropoligist Edgar Morin, biographer Roger Toumson, novelist Maryse Conde and American writer Maya Angelou and others testify to Cesaire's central role as a "founding ancestor" for the current flowering of African Diaspora literature.
