Okay, let me say first and foremost, this video is NOT my personal trip to either French Guiana, or Devil’s Island. I have never been to either place, although in an oceanic sense, I’ve been close. This film was made and upload to YouTube by TheLaffen79.

The reason that my wife and I went looking for film of French Guiana and Devil’s Island was due to my recent use and abuse of the former French Penal Colony in the short story I am working on entitled “Reality Prison.” And yes, I find the title a bit lacking too, so consider it a title in progress.

The islands were featured in the novel by Henri Charrière, Papillon.

Anyway, please enjoy the rather well presented short film of Devil’s Island.
