Mosquitoes and High Water 1983

Directed by Louis Alvarez

In the bayous and swamps east of New Orleans reside members of one of America\'s least-known ethnic group, the Spanish-speaking "Islenos" of St. Bernard Parish. Their ancestors came to this country over two hundred years ago from the Canary Islands off the West coast of Africa, and today their descendants continue to make a living as fishermen and trappers.
