The Gombey is a masked performance tradition rooted in African, Native American and Bermudian ancestry that has been part of Bermuda's cultural identity for centuries. This poetic six-minute short film captures the essence of the Bermuda Gombey and Bermudian culture in a way never seen before, weaving spoken word poetry with dreamlike visuals to explore themes of ancestry, identity and spiritual guidance
