Friends and stakeholders of the London (Notting Hill) Carnival met at the residence of His Excellency, the High Commissioner of Trinidad and Tobago to officially launch the 2011 festival. Once again the Carnival faces societal challenges beyond its control. The organisers have shown tremendous leadership in navigating a path that unites the public and the authorities in the continuity of the celebrations. We must remember that Caribbean carnival is about the abolition of slavery and the uniting of the people. The Notting Hill carnival is also about uniting the London community born out of adversity of the "Windrush" generation. It is with respect to our forebears and the mas men/women we are proud to present this short film of the 2011 opening event.
