An island in the Caribbean trembles with unrest.

In Dominica, one of the region’s most controversial laws is enacted: The Dread Act. Officially, it targets “subversive elements.” In reality, it’s a direct strike against the growing Rastafari movement.


In this two-part episode, Earl Steven Forester takes us back to a Dominica gripped by political turmoil, economic despair, and cultural conflict. Through first-hand accounts, archival material, and historical insight, he uncovers the true story behind a law that didn’t just ban dreadlocks—it legitimized violence, mass arrests, and the persecution of an entire culture.
