Paradise Discovered: The Unbreakable Virgin Islanders 2.0
In 2017, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, faced unprecedented devastation from back-to-back category 5 hurricanes, Irma and Maria. Award-winning journalist Peter Bailey, in 'Unbreakable 2.0,' captures this historic tragedy, exploring whether the tight-knit Virgin Islands community can preserve its culture amidst rapid modernization and gentrification following the disaster. Reflecting on the 1733 Fortsberg revolt, the first successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere, this compelling documentary delves into resilience, history, and the struggle for cultural identity.
