Release
1970's The Right and the Wrong and The Caribbean Fox, both directed by Harbance Kumar, were the first English-speaking films to be produced natively in the West Indies. Despite poor production values and less than positive reviews, both films became popular in their native Trinidad and Tobago and in other Caribbean territories; The Right and the Wrong was also a hit in Grenada, Guyana, and Suriname. Concerns over its "problematic representation of history and plantation life" led to Black Power demonstrations during its Guyanese run.
