Summary
The July 27, 1990 coup attempt in Trinidad and Tobago engineered by the Black Muslim group Jammaat al Muslimeen, took the world by surprise. In this film the tensions in Trinidadian society which may have led to the action are examined. Oil prices fell throughout the 1980s leading to a decrease in production and a 30% decline in real income for laborers. Further disillusion was caused by the split of the ruling party in 1986 and burdens placed on the nation by stricter guidelines imposed by the World Bank. This film argues that the Jammaat was not a radical group attempting to seize power, but a manifestation of the people's frustration.
