A three-year-long reportage about the Garifuna community of Sambo Creek, Honduras

The Garifuna community of Sambo Creek was founded in 1850 by migrants from the island of Roatán and has a population of about 3,500 people. In fact, the roots of these people date back to the early 1200s and are deeply connected to the historical events that unfolded in the Caribbean and to the dynamics of the populations that lived there.
My reportage, produced over the course of three years, seeks to portray the reality of Sambo Creek through its inhabitants.
