The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority presents for the very first time in Antigua, the first known destination video produced about Antigua.
The 1952: Antigua destination video, features heritage buildings, familiar streets, the Hellsgate Steel Orchestra, Highlanders, the sugar factory, sea island cotton production, tourist sites such as the Nelson's Dockard, the Mill Reef Club and more.
The video was previously stored in a vault in England. Featuring actor and historian Mr. Jules Walter had previously mentioned the lost film to Cultural Envoy to Antigua and Barbuda Dr. Barbara Paca. Together they worked with the Tourism Authority and the British Film Institute in London to recover and bring the film to Antigua. Interestingly, Mr. Walter is featured in the film with his artist relation Frank Walter.
We have learnt that George "Nugget" Joseph of the Hellsgate Steelpan Orchestra is also featured within the video.
