Afro-Indigenous Garifuna Struggles
October 2014. A film (in Spanish) by the Black Fraternal Organization of Honduras (OFRANEH) outlining the expulsion of the Garifuna people from their ancestral lands, specifically in the community of Barra Vieja (close to Tela Bay) to make way for the construction of a five-star international hotel and golf course, Indura Beach and Golf Resort.
November 2015. On November 13th, 2015, Canadian tourism developer Randy Jorgensen, aka "The Porn King", appeared in court on charges of illegally appropriating ancestral Garifuna lands. The court ruled partially in Jorgensen's favour, choosing not to go to a full trial for the time being, but local communities smell corruption and vow to appeal this ruling in Honduran courts and keep on fighting all the way to international tribunals, meaning that Jorgensen's and others' investments remain in legal limbo.
