Guyana | Filmmaker Mason Richards Brings Guyana’s Stories to Global Audience

April 2, 2012 

By Havelock Nelson
Mason Richards’ The Seawall is the story of a young boy wrestling with leaving Guyana and his grandmother trying to convince him (and herself) that going to America will be to his benefit. Richards’ command of his craft combined with his talent as a storyteller is fully responsible for resurrecting a place I admittedly truly miss. The film reminds us that being uprooted from traditions means becoming changed in the transplantation.
