Bright Road to El Dorado captures a moment in Trinidad's history. It is a fictional account of Sir Walter Raleigh's exploits in Trinidad in 1595. On his way from England to search for El Dorado, Raleigh called at Trinidad where he had an old score to settle with its Spanish Governor, Antonio de Berrio. The story deals with the conflict between these two men. It also highlights the aspect which both sides, the English and the Spanish, ignored the points of view of Trinidad's native people.
