Andre Gladu, Director
2005 105 min. Color
Louisiana's Creole culture helped shape the New World and contributed to the emergence of jazz. But what remains of this unique, mixed-race society, with roots in France, Africa, the Caribbean, Spain and America? "Maroon" searches for the origins of this little-understood and endangered culture and shows how it is doing today. In seeking out the Creole community -- about 250,000 strong in the United States -- filmmaker Andre Gladu pays tribute to their Maroon ancestors, runaway slaves who passed on their indomitable spirit.
