Film Synopsis: A young mixed race girl, Justice, moves to the Bahamas with her adoptive
parents and experiences a new culture. The family joins the local
sailing club and discovers racial undercurrents. Although there are no
rules against black members and most of the members don’t mind, one
influential member makes it difficult for the new family. Justice joins
the sailing program and meets new friends. She loves sailing and
decides to compete in the National Regatta. A 1964 Olympic Champion in
sailing is impressed by Justice and recognizes that she can help change
the attitudes of his beloved Bahamas and coaches her to be a first class
sailor. Tension mounts as the influential member, worried that Justice
will embarrass him, tries to get the family thrown off the island.
Meanwhile, Justice meets a Bahamian boy and the two teach each other
about their different cultures. In the end, Justice inspires everyone
to rise above their petty differences and unites them as one people.
One Bahamas!
