synopsis
The Caribbean Sea is a tropical body of water adjacent to the Atlantic
Ocean and southeast of the Gulf of Mexico.
It is also an aria where hurricanes were developed.
The name hurricane has its origin in the indigenous religions of old civilizations.
The Mayan storm god
was named Hunraken. A god considered evil by the Taino people of the Caribbean
was called Huracan.
The local hurricane correspondents are the heart and soul of storm warning
services like stormcarib.com.
They are the people who live on the island and write what is going on
around them. First hand very
local emotional reports instead of very limited or sensationalized coverage
by the general media.
This Community of people help each other to survive during the Hurricane
Seasons.
This topic was the inspiration for this film.
Caye Caulker shows an observation of the Caribbean see from the Caye Caulker
Island of Belize.
It shows one shoot manipulated on the time level.
A Thunderstorm...in front of the picture two ships.
What will happen next?
