Doubles wit Slight Pepper

 Being born a Trinidadian is indeed a privilege, here we have some of the best beaches, we live among persons with a number of different ethnic backgrounds, we celebrate the greatest show on earth without fail every year and yes there is "Doubles" enjoyed "wit slight pepper" it is just one of our many delicacies that can bring joy to your taste buds at first bite. 

Doubles is a cheap and very popular street food indigenous to Trinidad and Tobago.

"Doubles wit Slight Pepper" is a local produced film by Aliyah Zalim. The film is just 15mins long but, let me tell you at the end of it you will be sure to find the nearest "doubles stand" and call for two with slight pepper.

It takes you on a journey of the different kinds of doubles, the many different interpretations of a doubles and the different ways it can be enjoyed. It shows Trinidad and its people in a different light something that the rest of the world does not get to see often. I think the producer was brilliant to find something that we can all relate to, in this case doubles and use this to showcase our beautiful island Trinidad for what it is, not just the crime and all things that are bad but, the people and the way of life,our food, our heritage our beloved nation.

I think the media could of done more to push the Local Film Festival, i mean it is local, all locally produced but, how many people actually heard of it or even went to any of the show held in our own Movie Towne Port-of-Spain, Chaguanas and even Tobago, not one of the films were shown on one local station or broadcast on one local radion station to give the public some notice.

Am sure if this film had Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie as the leading stars people would of found some time to see it.
