Synopsis
Accompong, Jamaica, is home to the legacy of the Maroons, descendants of rebel slaves led by Cudjoe. Founded in 1739, the community arose after a conflict with British forces. A treaty signed by Governor Edward Trelawny granted Cudjoe’s Maroons 1500 acres of land. The Kindah Tree, an ancient mango tree, symbolizes their unity and struggle for freedom. Interviews and historical accounts provide insight into this enduring community.
