I Travel for Culture Releases Episode 3 — “Las Terrenas the Local Way”
Available This Thursday
Atlanta / Samaná Province — The cultural docu-travel series I Travel for Culture returns this Thursday with Episode 3 of its 2026 season, continuing the powerful storytelling arc of “The Secret Is Samaná.”
In this newest episode, Las Terrenas doesn’t just feed you… it introduces itself through food.
Viewers are taken beyond restaurant menus and into the rhythm of everyday life — where beach food and street food are often one and the same. From coconut and spice to quick roadside grills and shoreline flavors, this episode captures the unfiltered essence of Dominican coastal culture through the hands of the people who live it.
Episode Highlights:
-
Beachside eats with real Dominican rhythm
-
Street grills and bold, everyday flavors
-
Coconut, spice, and coastal identity
-
Food as cultural storytelling
As introduced in previous episodes, The Secret Is Samaná explores the province not as a tourist destination — but as a living cultural ecosystem shaped by ordinary people, tradition, and local pride.
The series continues to spotlight the places visitors often overlook, deepening the narrative around Samaná’s identity and its growing role in global cultural exchange.
Special thanks to the Alma Film Festival, a valued collaborator supporting this cultural docu-travel series as it shares stories tourists often miss.

About the Alma Film Festival
The Alma Film Festival was created in response to structural gaps in the global film ecosystem. By design, it is a next-generation destination, experience-based film festival and cultural convening—one that functions as a cultural intelligence engine, bringing together filmmakers, scholars, technologists, artists, institutions, and audiences from across the Global South and its diasporas.
Rooted in scholarship, innovation, and deep audience engagement, Alma prioritizes fewer films with greater intentionality, creating space for meaningful dialogue, relationship-building, and long-term collaboration. With up to 80% of the program dedicated to Global South cinema, the festival showcases narrative features, documentaries, shorts, animation, experimental works, audio storytelling, and new media—centering films that engage cultural memory, social relevance, and creative innovation.
Programming is curated in partnership with global entities and agencies, reinforcing Alma’s role as a platform for shared authorship rather than extraction. Through this approach, the festival has cultivated a global community of stakeholders spanning more than 51 cities across 35 countries.
Beyond screenings, Alma integrates fellowships, symposia, performance laboratories, editorial platforms, and emerging technologies—positioning the festival not simply as an event, but as an ecosystem. Guided by the principle “The Necessity of Something New,” the Alma Film Festival advances cultural diplomacy, fosters cross-regional collaboration, and contributes to the development of sustainable creative economies worldwide.
At its core, the Alma Film Festival is a global gathering designed to nurture both ideas and people. It embraces a kaleidoscope of cultures while intentionally shifting the social dynamic from competition to connection—creating space for collaboration, understanding, and shared growth. Alma moves us from extraction to exchange, from visibility to value, and from presence to purpose.
We are doing something new.
There is a necessity for something new.
