How is change affecting this community? Where do we find a clash in religious outlooks?
How are women a driving force in this community?
The social order on the island is a matriarchy, headed by Nana Peazant and filled out by a community of strong and capable women. Women abound in the film, and they all pay reverence to their matriarch, Nana, even if they sometimes don't agree with her. Though the subject of female leadership and matriarchy is not explicitly discussed, the film's portrayal of a community organized around women centers matriarchy as a major theme.
