Please join University College and the Centre for Caribbean Studies for a screening of Barker Fairley Distinguished Visitor Richard Fung’s most recent film The Enigma of Harold Sonny Ladoo (2024). Ladoo was the first Trinidadian and second Caribbean author published in Canada. Filmed in Trinidad and Toronto, the film attempts to piece together the puzzle of Ladoo’s complex, often tumultuous life, and his tragic death.
The screening is followed by a panel discussion with director Richard Fung, Trinidadian filmmaker Christopher Laird, Professor Andil Gosine, and Centre for Caribbean Studies Lecturer Ramabai Espinet. The panel discussion is moderated by Professor of Caribbean Studies Alissa Trotz, Director of the Women and Gender Studies Institute.
This event is co-organized with the Centre for Caribbean Studies and sponsored by Coach House Books and Another Story Bookshop. Books by Harold Sonny Ladoo and others featured in the film will be available for purchase at the event. The event is free and all are welcome, though registration is required. Please submit a registration form for each person who plans to attend.
