Unbroken a winner at T&T Film Festival
U
nbroken, an inspiring Jamaican story of determination and resilience, was a big winner at the Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival (TTFF). Directed and shot by Jamaican film-maker Gabrielle Blackwood, it was voted Best Documentary Short Film. Due to Covid-19, the festival and awards ceremony were streamed live via social media platforms. Blackwood said she was grateful and elated about the win saying: “I’m extremely happy about it. But I’m even more excited about it because Laron is excited and ecstatic about the win. I’m excited because people are now getting to see and sharing his story. “It’s really good to see him excited about it because we just followed him on this journey not expecting anything to come out of it; neither did he. “I think he’s looking at the silver lining which is — even though he
suffered from his amputation and the hardships associated with it like re-learning how to walk and how to take care of himself — people now know who he is, what he has gone through and what he has achieved.” ‘Laron’ is Laron Williamson, the documentary’s central character and ‘Unbroken’ follows his quest to make Jamaica’s Olympic rowing team. “He suffered from a freak accident at work”, Gabrielle said. “He lost his job and was just in
search of bettering himself. “He came upon the rowing team who just started and now he’s on the Jamaica rowing team.” But the paralympic team said the nature of his amputation prevented him from qualifying as he was too able-bodied.” Blackwood was commissioned by Getty Images UK through New Wave Jamaica to do the docu-film saying it took massive research before coming across Williamson’s story.
