Knock Down Pork Knocker (2026)
01'44"
Set against the backdrop of Guyana’s mining history, Knock Down Pork Knocker examines the intersection of Caribbean folklore with the lasting spiritual, material and labour legacies of resource extraction following British colonial rule. After the abolition of slavery, Pork Knockers emerged as independent miners seeking fortune along the Guyanese interiors as they navigated the lingering extractive colonial economy.
Displayed alongside the film was the original film set and hand-whittled puppets of Kiso and Massa.
