Cates (actor), Tommy Charoensiri (actor), Johnathan Cheeks (actor), Israel Chinchilla (actor), Christina Cooper (actor), Jennifer Cooper (actor), Aldrin Enriquez (actor), Carlos Domingo Alvarez (actor),

Plot: A Garifuna language teacher, Ricardo, struggles to preserve his endangered Afro-Amerindian culture by building a language school back in his home village in Honduras, Central America. A business venture with his brother designed to raise money for the school's construction becomes complicated by the expansion plans of a nearby tourist resort into indigenous territory. Historical parallels are invoked as Ricardo's son rehearses a stage play about the Garifuna people's last stand against British colonialism over 200 years ago in their motherland, the island of St. Vincent in the Caribbean. Naturalistically shot, with debut performances by nearly the entire cast, "Garifuna in Peril" makes its own history as the first feature film with the majority of dialogue in Garifuna, a language proclaimed by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Magdalena: You're such a loser. Smoking pot in the afternoon, and watching cartoons.::Carlos: Look who's talking... 14 and pregnant.

I'm a virgin, remember?::Carlos: Yeah, right.::Magdalena: Come on, Carlos, I told you stuff.::Carlos: We mess around, alright?::Magdalena: Are you the peanut butter in the sandwich?::Carlos: Fuck you...

Carlos: [at Tio Tomas' funeral] Tomas Alvarez was born in Jalisco, Mexico in 1921. The 13th kid out of 22. When he was born, he was so small, the midwife said he wasn't worth washing. But he ended up outliving all of them. In his life, he was an office boy, a barber and a farm worker. Then in America, he sold champurrado. Everybody knew him. If you walk down the street, he would stop every two minutes to talk to someone. They were always happy to see him. [pauses] He had a love inside him that was so strong. It came from his heart and out through his eyes like a golden light. Everybody could see it, because he loved everyone and judged no one. At the end of my life, I will count it as my greatest privilege that I knew a saint. Because Tomas Alvarez was a saint. And he will not leave us. His spirit is still strong. He will be with us 'til the end of our days.

Carlos: Nobody believes you, huh?::Magdalena: About what?::Carlos: "About what?", come on!::Magdalena: [pauses] No.::Carlos: Yeah, nobody believed me about anything all my life.::Magdalena: That's because you're a liar, and a thief, and a pothead. And a gay.::Carlos: [Makes face] So?
