Guyana's economy is collapsing under poverty and ethnic violence, and reporter Zaiba Malik travels the country to find out why. Afro-Guyanese and Indo-Guyanese communities, together nearly 80 percent of the population, blame each other for controlling politics and jobs, a rivalry with roots in slavery and indentured servitude that still shapes who gets hired and who gets elected. Malik talks to farmers and miners who have lost land and income to the unrest, and to small business owners trying to keep shops open amid instability. She meets political leaders and activists who claim to be working toward reconciliation, though many of the people she interviews say the government has done little to fix the underlying inequality. In the rural interior she visits the Wapichan people, who describe years of intimidation from miners and loggers pushing onto land they have worked for generations. The film moves between capital politics and remote villages, building a picture of a small nation where old ethnic divisions and a struggling agricultural and mining economy keep reinforcing each other.
