An enthusiastic crowd gathered on Sunday, October 29 at the Pacific Cinematheque Theatre in Vancouver, British Columbia to attend the premiere screening of the documentary film, Grenada: The Maroon Spirit.

The documentary was filmed on the island of Grenada in November 2004 and shows the devastating impact of Hurricane Ivan and the incredible effort the Grenadian people made to rebuild their country.

The Grenada Cultural Association of BC served up Caribbean patties and sugar cake amongst other goodies to the eager crowd. Information on vacationing in Grenada was available and the flag of Grenada flew in the lobby. A lively question and answer session followed the film as people were keen to learn more about Grenada.

The event was organized by the Pumpkinhead Production Company, producer of the film and supported by the Grenada Cultural Association of British Columbia. The screening was seeking to increase the public's awareness of the history and culture of Grenada and the money raised will go for projects in Grenada.

Pumpkinhead Production Company is donating 20% of gross sales to the Grenada Cultural Association of BC for projects in Grenada.
