The Other Side of Carnival is a documentary that explores Carnival's social and economic impact on Trinidad & Tobago. With more than 60 interviews from professors, medical staff, police officers, government officials, students, tourists, every-day locals and more, The Other Side of Carnival is able to highlight that while Carnival is an exciting occasion, it is a festival that creates turmoil, which is not widely visible...or is it just simply ignored? This documentary captures the roots of Carnival and how far some go to keep the original idea alive, and how others attempt to integrate change.
