[Man] The island of Santa Marta
is not very much different...

:03:16
from any of the other
smaller islands in the Caribbean.

:03:19
Towering mountains,
white gold beaches...

:03:22
coconut palms
and hot tropical sun.

:03:28
It has a population
of about 100,000...

:03:31
9/10ths of it colored
or of mixed blood.

:03:34
Its main industry is
raising sugar, copra, cocoa...

:03:37
and exporting them.
:03:39
Originally a French Island...
:03:41
its laborers were brought in slave ships
from the Gold Coast of Africa...

:03:45
four and a half centuries ago.
:03:47
And now it is
a British Crown Colony.

:03:51
Well, that about sums up
all the facts you'll find...

:03:54
in the tourist guides,
Mr. Bradshaw.

:03:56
Of course, as a journalist, you'll want
to see as much of our island as possible.
