A documentary about the history and the future of Bermuda's folk dance troupes known as the Gombeys. Historically, the Gombeys were not viewed as a respectable art form by the island's ruling class. Slaves were allowed to dance only once a year and did so in masks in order to protest, without fear of retribution, the injustices done them by their slave masters. Incorporating elements of African, Native American, Caribbean and British culture the Gombeys have evolved into the colorful uniquely Bermudian art form beloved by locals and tourists alike.
