This video has been making the rounds recently. From the first time I saw it I -knew- I had to share it with y’all :) Created by Trini animator, Ansar Sattar, Vendor Rivalry won Animae Caribe’s 2009 Most Oustanding Caribbean Animation Award.



Synopsis: A casual encounter soon escalates into a battle royale, as two local vendors get pushed over the edge. An animated take on a day in the life of two Trini Caribbean vendors, as an initial battle of words is transformed into a kung fu showdown on the busy streets of Trinidad.
