“This is America, don’t catch you slippin’ up,” rung loud through Red Cargo’s dystopian shipyard.

Just a few weeks ago Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) announced that he would be releasing a musical film with Rihanna named “Guava Island” after his set at Coachella. Many suspected this could be Glover’s creative way to release new music, but what we received was something much more.

Guava Island might not include a plethora of new music from Gambino and Rihanna but instead it is a more complete elaboration on the previous music video for “This Is America,” a critically-acclaimed single Glover released last May.

The 55-minute film is available only to Amazon Prime subscribers. It is unclear whether or not a soundtrack for the film eventually will be released.

The film takes the viewer to the mythical island of ‘Guava’ where in every direction beautiful beaches and landscapes can be seen. But in this beautiful place everyone is a drone to the businessman, Red Cargo, who runs the island.

The film follows musician Deni Maroon (played by Glover) in his attempt to hold a music festival to give everyone on the island a day off of work.

The main idea of the story, in my understanding, is illustrating the pitfalls of capitalism through Deni’s adventure. This can be seen clearly in a scene prior to Deni’s rendition of “This Is America” in the shipyard. Deni is speaking to his coworker, Coley, and Coley is explaining how he is trying to save money to move to America. Coley says that America is different and that people there are their own bosses. Deni thinks this is hilarious and explains that America is no different than Guava.

“America is a concept,” Deni says. “Anywhere where in order to get rich you have to make someone else richer is America.”

He then breaks into song.

Guava Island has it all, the acting is superb, the cinematography is breathtaking, and its heavy-hitting political commentary is quite thought-provoking.

If you don’t have an Amazon Prime subscription, find someone who does. You’ll thank me.
