- Summary:
- For centuries, the Maroons of Suriname's rain forest have lived beyond the reach of capitalist society. As economic interests encroach on their land and climate change disrupts their way of life, Monikondee (Money Land) follows Boogie, a boatman navigating the border river between Suriname and French Guiana. Through a multi-voiced storytelling tradition, the film reveals a community balancing survival, tradition, and change in an increasingly fragile world.
