RYAN BACHOO

Ryan Bachoo is a multimedia journalist at Guardian Media for the last 15 years in his native Trinidad and Tobago. He's covered a range of topics including sport, news and current affairs and climate change. His work spreads across multiple platforms including broadcasting for CNC3 Television, and writing for the T&T Guardian newspaper. He has produced three documentaries on religion, the last of which won the CBU's prize for Best Caribbean Documentary in 2023. In January, he published his first book in 2025 titled, An Unending Search.

An Unending Search is a compelling tale of self-discovery, resilience, and transformation set against the backdrop of South Trinidad in the late 1970s. This poignant story follows the journey of Tar, a teenager working in the cane fields alongside the village elder and influential Uncle Sundar, whose little black radio opens their ears to global events through the BBC World Service. As Uncle Sundar instills in Tar the determination to escape the grip of poverty and systemic racism, the novel takes readers on a powerful journey of hope, ambition, and identity, with Tar setting his sights on "the promised lands" of New York or London. Through Tar’s eyes, Ryan masterfully confronts issues of racism, classism, and societal divides, painting a vivid picture of life and struggles in 1970s Trinidad while exploring the universal themes of growth and self-discovery.
